I just took this picture today of the family turtle. I bought this the first year Courtney and I started dating at a flea market which was the first time Courtney had ever experienced the knife game. He was only the size of a silver dollar!

I hope, I didn't make my last post sound Iike, I didn't like stainless steel blades or D2 blades. One of my favorite user large folders is a Robeson, in D2, made by Queen.

  I was just, trying to explain a little more about, Carbon steel knives.

There has always been a big debate on blade steel. Carbon Vs. Stainless. One of the reasons production knife companies like stainlees in high RC. is they can use stock removal on their blades, instead of hammer forging carbon steel. Hammer forging is costly and time consuming. Unless, you have used a knife that has been hammer forged by a master smith, you have not experienced the true value of carbon steel knives.

Thanks for that clarification, Ashley!

Thank you Ashley.  As one customer who now has one Queen with PH-D2 I am VERY happy with this steel.  I'm no expert and my "testing" is mainly just using the knives every day but I like PH-D2 more than any steel I've used on traditional pocket knives.  I don't have a LOT of experience though so my opinion is based on very limited knowledge.

The PH on our D-2 Blades does stand for Peters Heat Treat. They are located in Meadville, Pa and all of the springs and blades for our D2 Knives are Heat treated through them.

Thanks Ron.  I have read the PH stands for Peter's Heat treating, a company that heat treats the D2.  I would like to know if that's right or not.  Doesn't matter if I understand or not, I do like to know stuff like this though.  Ryan??? Where are you??? lol

The D2 being hard to sharpen issue makes me sad a little bit.  This is very easily changed by buying stones that cut more aggressively.  That does mean spending money that could be spent on another knife though. :)  A few years ago I FINALLY decided to buy a knife that would stay sharp longer than what I had used all my life.  When I got one (then more and more lol) I found my 20 year old med. grit Arkansas stone couldn't sharpen them.  I didn't know how to take care of a stone so I'm sure it was clogged.  So over time I've gotten stones that can sharpen any blade steel on the market.  Of course my 10 starving kids don't have any shoes. lol  I get sad when I think someone will not buy a knife he/she wants because they don't think they can sharpen it or it takes too long with the stones they have.  This of course is up to each individual.  I just love an edge that stays sharp.  I'm retired now and don't work hard so I don't need the edge retention I did when I used a knife more.  This also makes me sad.  I wish I had invested more in better knives when I used them more.  I've always loved knives and always had a pocket knife in my pocket.  Now I seem to have several. :)
