Some interesting reading ! You mention " Phil Hartsfield, who uses A-2 tool steel ground to shape" The dogalog for Phil is here : www.phillhartsfield.com/catalog.htmA bead blasted chunk of A2 steel with a cord wrap- Kukri with Companion - $42001/4" Stock. (Companion 1/8") Cord wrap Handle. 15 3/4" Overall. 11" Blade. Do these come with magic incantations ?
