Kevo, WELCOME to the Yard! from the looks of things you've been around for a while. Join in on the conversations and fun! We may bark some, but it's friendly barking and NO ONE here means anyone else any ill will.
We're just a bunch of folks that likes knives and stuff and converse in manly ways (OK, SOMETIMES we digress back to childhood) but we do it in a manly way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Not really sure if you'll get a reply from Dan, at lest not for a while. He's pretty busy getting the latest releases out and filling orders and will I am sure be that way for some time. SO don't get discouraged, I'm sure that if there are any Dogs here that are familiar with these three steels they will give you some information.
Again, WELCOME!
