Jim- Bruce-Paul and others..........I recently received and " 01" knife and was amazed at how well it performed. Also- same with an A2 blade that I am having a ball with. Ron ( sprtsnut) just left from picking up his WEENIE ( more later) and he took some pictures of some of my blades.I would welcome results - suggestions- pictures or any ideas or thoughts on all these steels <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Like I stated- the Bushwhacker is not only INFI- it was a well thought out design and I ceratily would encourage anybody to jump on it at that price <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I just like the design so well I am having it built in some different steels <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.I am no expert- but there is much more to a heat treat than many would ever think.1095 treated correctly is also an excellent steel . My humble apolgies to the OP for the hijack <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />
