BLD, nice blade! I've seen the non D2 versions of that.. I'd like a little more 'talon' on it for when I'm using the point.
For me the whole point of a small skele' is to team up with a sr77 knife. Thus corrosion resistance (skinning and food prep) is more important than strength. A D2 assault shaker teamed with a S6, guard or DF would be a superb field pairing!
