You'll find some specification info here on the blog. All of my knives are made with 52100 steel unless you want a custom knife. Drop me a line if you need any help...Cheers for now...JJon Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02116552308393599804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133721075738890943.post-14836668377512807112012-03-11T08:31:04.320+00:002012-03-11T08:31:04.320+00:00I love your work and the beauty of the beaver tail...I love your work and the beauty of the beaver tail, but I am captured by the hen/goose shape.
