At Alitist those San Jia Columbia River knives are great,, good feel,, nice weight and as you said sharp as well.
IMO a great knife let down by a pissy nylon sheath,, step in OD for a quality leather homemade sheath
that will last a life time,

The double edge is what I'm curious about, how does ut feel whilr you're using it ?? Unless its a show piece? ?
The only down fall I can see with that ckrt is that is a little small for a hack knife but i can definitely tell you its going to get well used from now on haha

Whats everyones take on this I dont think its that old
well not 1850 anyway,I reckon the IXL is a reference to size not a date
Plus back in 1850 would you worry about etching a work knife, I have a few knives from the early 1800s
and they are plain Janes IMO

check out video especially guy and the dummy RPML [/QUOTE ]
That bloke is the owner of Coldsteel knifes and I seear he has a sick fetish with those dummies lol you should see him in action with some of the other knifes like the 6"Ti-light haha
I'm sure its a high carbon stainless steel like the ka bar and my leatherneck so it holds its edge exceptionally well.
Yeah I will definitely do that, maybe a colustom pouch to hold a few?? We'll see lol
Hes a comparo between the ka bar and the leather neck

Cold Steel is my favourite knife maker! I love the leatherneck knife! It will last you many lifetimes! (I, too, would have a CS over a Ka-bar but that's just personal choice, as both are quality blademakers!)
George, my CS Taipan is purely for me to drool over.... unless ISIL to do something stupid and decide to wreak havock in this country! It is a ruthless knife and pure business so needless to say it is treated with respect and kept locked away.
It's what I would have carried when I was in the Army, if it had of been availible back then. (As it was, I carried my Kukri and my Gerber Mk II boot knife)

3 best steels for a blade are San mai, seki city and cold steel not in any order
There are newer composite steels but you'll pay through the nose to get them way out of out league
If you can get a rockwell hardness of 58-60 you should have good edge retention
Most of the Natchez bowie I looked at were either San Mai or Cold steel
