jackell Thanks for the info. I'm still a novice at the sharpening side of owning a knife. I like the handle on the dmdc. I have a cold steel with a kraton handle that is about 15 years old and it doesn't feel as solid as the dmdc. Also, the handle seems to be crumbling a little. But thanks again for the info. I appreciate all of the info that I gather from all of you. And like others, I really do enjoy browsing and corresponding in this forum.
