Martin,
Great job on a great knife. I am a big Ka-bar fan. They charge a very fair price for great blades. Nice steels, well made, excellent designs. I wish more knife makers would take their lead and do the same. There are so many ‘big name / respected names’ just making average blades and putting crazy price tags on them. They are just selling you a name for 4x what Ka-Bar wants for really good stuff!
I am glad you put the effort into your Ka-Bar. Keep up the good work! -Dan
