I've been watching your site for a while, but haven't posted yet. I love the steels you use for your knives, most notably the spring steel. Although I don't have a use (at the moment) for a large bowie knife, I would like to inquire about the possibility of getting a work knife made out of your steel. I hope I don't get flamed too much for this, but I am looking for (and have not found) a perfect knife for my line of work. I am an electrician, and I work on the big stuff, industrial equipment and high voltage, and the like, but I also wind up pulling computer cable every now and then. I used a few knives in my career, broke a few more, but have never been totally satisfied with any. Here are some of the knives I've used in the past 5 years: Tops Scalpel- 1/4 thick, very heavy. Nice sized blade for what I do (trim insulation off of conductors about 1" dia) and the sheath is very nice. I need all my knives to be pulled in and out of the sheath single handed, because I never have a chance to use two hands to pull a knife out or put it back when you are hanging 30 feet in the air. The Tops Scalpel was too heavy and had the wrong blade shape for what I do. CRKT Neck Peck- I've had about four of these knives. They have many attributes to their being a good work knife, most notably the modified sheepsfoot blade. I have a habit of breaking the blade tips, or bending the edge of the AUS-8 stainless when using the back of the blade as a screwdriver. I know I shouldn't do that, but when you are 120 feet on the side of a building, you don't have time to go and get the proper tool sometimes. The Neck Peck has a great thermoplastic sheath that lets the knife click in and out singlehanded with an audible SNAP so you know it is secure. The blade material is ok for stainless, better than 440, but I don't need stainless for what I do. That is where the spring steel would be perfect. The CRKT Peck is a little small, but it always got the job done; even when broken. (I know, I broke a tip off one of the Pecks when I was throwing it at some scrap plywood- I had a job to do but no tools or material and had to sit around for a couple of hours, what do you do?) The flat part of the sheepsfoot blade was nice for cutting and shaving insulation, crate strapping, stuck nylon slings, etc. The pointy part was good for very intricate work, like following a line of conductors without piercing them in a multi-conductor cable when stripping insulation. The Peck had some filework near the tip of the blade to allow your finger a secure place to help guide it. If the CRKT Neck Peck were only 1-2 inches bigger, slightly less pointy, a narrow plastic handle (insulator, just in case; I'd never let my knife near anything live <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />), and made of your spring steel, well, I'd have the perfect knife. Any chance you could make one?

Welcome to the Yard.....I am a bit lost on the spring steel line, but I have wanted a tops scapel for a while, though I heard from a few folks that they have broken the tip off the little bugger.
