Responding to the opening post (meaning I didn't ready everything). I always carry a stone with. Either a Doublestuff or dogbone stone. It's amazing what a few careful strokes can do to bring life back to a recently dulled edge. It drives me crazy when I discover the knife I put in my pocket for the...

The SM is set on fine corners at 30 deg. ;) :D
I noticed that too. I guess I need to hone up my serrated blades.

II find these warnings annoying and useless. What are you to open this box with a spoon (cousin). I like the challenge of opening boxes up without cutting the contents. I do like the Mora icon ;)

I don't have a lot of experience but, I think the Moran works great for skinning. I have the Upswept model. It's light, well contoured, grippy and, of course, made of a great steel that stays sharp for a long time.

Thanks Cliff for the explanation. I was focusing my thoughts simply on the hardness and not grain sizes, etc.

So, I guess I don't understand why heat treat would effect one's ability to get a knife sharp. It seems that my knives with softer steels can be sharpened to a higher level of sharpness then those that are are harder. The only issue I've seen with softer steels is a burr that won't go away. Can some...

David, I think that's a great idea. There's no way I'm going to make a decent folder without a machine shop. Heck, the way I understand it, the lock on a liner needs to heat treated in order to not wear too quickily from contact with the hardened blade. I'm not really equiped to machine hardened mat...
