Does anybody have any info about this knife? Anybody have one they use? What type of steel are they made of? Any info at all would be appreciated!!

I'm assuming you've seen one...4" blade, tanto style... mine has a low grind and is coated, with black scales and a lined thong whole. I've seen one with a bead blast blade, and white micarta. It also had a different type of pins (larger). It also had a higher grind.I guess his grind had evolved/changed over time. Being a chisel grind it takes a razor edge. For me it would be a breeze to sharpen. So far all I've had to do is touch it up with a steel.
It is a solid knife. It has a good heft to it.Feels good and solid in either a foward or reverse grip. It's not likely to slip out of your hand.It is not a neck knife, tho it is concealable. It disapears when worn in a coats inside pocket sheath. I had to adapt another part for that kind of carry. I didn't get the full sheath when I bought mine on ebay...I should contact Trace for a new one.
If I want to carry a fixed blade, this is the one I reach for.
I can't remember what the steel is..sorry.
