The 1095 is my only concern, but for just a little more than the cost of adding a sheath to one of my Bussekin I thought it was worth it to experiment.

I've found the edge retention to be very good as well. I should probably hunt up another one since it was discontinued. Back on the SS4- put me down for one..choil or no!

When (IF) I need to choke up I like my index finger in front of the handle. But as Rich said PUT ME DOWN FOR ONE... CHOIL OR NO! A Little Paranoia Will Keep You Safe (ALPWKYS) Be a Sheepdog JYD#105
