Charlie,

Thanks for the link.  I watched the videos about hand making the first knife, and the knife sharpness and destruction tests.  Gough did a great job of finding the best steel for his blades.  I noticed that CPM-3V was #1 in the tests - same as the Survive Knives steel.  https://www.surviveknives.com/ although he ultimately chose A-2.

Also, he made the extreme choice to baton the knives through walnut, against the grain, with a hammer, and all the blades survived.  I can't think of anybody who would recommend batoning with a hammer! - Not that he recommends it, but he did it in his tests.  And a crowbar on the side of the blade edge is another over-the-top test - but some knives survived it!

I too have not heard of this knife brand.  There are hundreds of knife makers who punch out one knife at a time.  The picture below depicts and well and standard designed knife.  If you buy one let us know how it works out.

Charlie, I like the look of it and see a good number of uses for it.  as they say good all around design

When it see it on the belt however I have to wonder about the length of the handle.  It appears that either that person is as short as I am or the knife would extend the entire length of my torso LOL
