Haven't done a lot but did receive a new sharpie in the mail today.
Had been chasing an esee or equivalent knife for awhile without selling the house and took a gamble on a CIMA-1 fine edge that i came across on a flash sale.
Super sharp and impressed with the quality and is basically an esee 3 with 7cr17mov steel used with full tang.
Here's a pic of it next to a mates Mod 4

2009 GU ST 4.8L AUTO WAGON, 2" OME LIFT, 33" A/T'S, ARB DELUXE BAR, WARN XD9000 WINCH, NARVA 170 SPOTTIES, SCRUB BARS / SIDE STEPS, LONG RANGE TANK, DUALL BATTS, REAR DRAWER SYSTEM, ARB AWNING, KAYMAR REAR WHEEL CARRIER, 3" ZORST
Haven't had a chance to try the knife out yet but came across a good review on it including a stress test video from Joe Robinet Bushcraft, certainly impressed with how it performed.
TD suggested I put a photo up of this Buck knife , I believe it's a 184 survival knife originally designed for the navy seals but was too heavy , knife came with a compass and pouch and two screw in tangs that fix to the handle , supposedly for use as a grappling hook .
Keeps an edge and is very quick to sharpen with the stone attached to underside of sheath . IMG_7490.JPGIMG_7492.JPG
@mudnut - certainly an interesting way to do what appears to be a variation of a Damascus billet. No idea what powders he's using.
@GQtdauto - TD sent me a link to your knife before I had to scoot up north, an interesting knife to say the least. Personally wouldn't use it as a grappling hook but would be fine for throwing ropes as per the specs.
There were a few people I'd read about trying to use it as a hook that ended up failing badly, from what I understand it's a very sought after knife

Won't be using it as a grappling hook because I've misplaced one of the screw in tynes , the knife is too bulky and heavy for hunting unless your into the Rambo thing as I once was , bought the knife new around 32 years ago .
