Terry .. green on the farm .. I bet .. pretty wet here .. too wet for the farmers to get in the fields @ the moment ..
Just posted some "modifications" I've done .. pic album = "MODIFICATIONS" ..
.. been thinking of starting a grp around that theme .. just about everyone has modified or dreamt of an "improvement" they'd like to add .. think it would generate enough interest to generate ongoing discussion & interest ???
Thanks, Terry! I can't afford to collect high-end knives, so I go for diversity, age and ethnicity in the lower price range. It's a lot of fun without too much expense.
That's what I have done Retired an paid off everything also, Got a few head of cattle an Bore goats but want more cattle like to have about 30 females 2 years old to bred a year!
Hey Terry Great Farm!! I know you are proud to have all you have in life!
Looks like you are enjoying life too the fullest !! I love any thing outdoors an farming also, wished I lived out west sometimes for the Hog hunts an Predator hunts! Keep loving your Family!! And making True Friends!!

Terry .. the 400 series stainless steel is generally .. well .. not the best ..
If it's more expensive steel .. ATS34 /154CM , D2 .. they make that evident .. sales ..
When the steel type is generically called out as "400 series" or "440 stainless" .. it's generally indicative of 420, 440A, or 440B .... none of which are real great ~ imo .... max hardness typically mid 50's Rc .. lowers raw matl / production cost's though ..
Oh .. & the bead blasted is just the finish .. both are the same steel
Terry .. here's a Schrade/Taylor that I was looking @ for myself .. I'm pretty sure this is NOT w/ 440C steel ..
The Shrade SC-1. The blade is of the spear shape, sharp and effective. We couldn't find what type of steel is used, but it feels as a good one. The firing is fast and smooth. The handle is made of steel with G-10 scales. The clip is non removable.

Today is the first time I've seen any vendor list the steel type as 440C ~ SCALB/Y only !!!
I'm still quite hesitant on the SCTAC .. may bite on the SCALY though ..
.. SCALY + jigged bone / stag / micarta ivory scales + recessed contoured release button ..
Yeah .. I just may bite on that SCALY !!!
