I don't have any colorful leaves here so how bout dry leaves and an old log.  :D

#35? I was very tempted but I'm done with 1095 steel. Stainless only for me.

I always have a stainless on me and stainless will always be my favorite,
But.
GEC is never going to build a CPM-154 or M390 Churchill or anything else in a modern steel for that matter.   
So to this knife knut it's an excuse to carry two knives.
Dean's Rule #1 - One is none and two is one.
This way I can enjoy a modern traditional like the Lionsteel Roundhead and at the same time enjoy the classics from GEC, Old Timer & Camillus.

I grew up on 1095, it's a good steel. You just have to be more careful with it than stainless.

Another guy who's also moved away from carbon here  :cheers:

I have two Sheffield made carbon knives that I do notwant to bewithout, and a third that never got built. It's actually a mismatch of old parts which I hope to turn into a knife myself. Those three easilly fill my carbon steel quota, and anything else needs to be stainless.

Oh, and my Vagnino Zipslip is D2, so that's 4 non-stainless folders here.

My first pocket knife was carbon too, but I can't see me buying more. I don't mind having one or two (or four  :facepalm:) but stainless will always be my preference.  :cheers:

Are you interested in the new Benchmade Clip Point slip joint? S30V! Dang sharp stuff, love that steel. Micarta or G10 handles.

Have you put your name down for the Shuffler? Another question if I may, have you done anything with the thickness behind the edge? I need to send mine away for thinning down.

Yep a for sure on one black C/F and one micarta Shuffler. I'm doing a little ebaying to fund them.

No on the regrind. I just went and measured both for you. I used a good calibrated micrometer and watched the dial, on both knives the anvil fell off the primary grind between .020 and .021. That's with the blades sharpened at 36 inclusive. So I leaving it as is. It will be a very long tine before it wears back far enough to re grind.

They look good and I like the clip point better than the Sheepsfoot.
But.
There's a couple features that knock it off my list. The blade is a nice thin .090 so why did they put a saber grind on it. For my uses that just increases the primary grind angle and reduces it slicing ability.
The other is S30V, I didn't like it on my BenchMade Shori so I won't take a chance on it again. It's edge doesn't seem to be as stable (micro chips) as ATS34/CM154, CPM 154, D2 or M390.

I don't know if it's S30v in general or Benchmades heat treat of it but that has been my experience with it.

Im not a big fan of S30V. I'm not against it either I'm just not a fan boy of S30V. I consider it a good steel if done right. It is prone to chipping.  Espically is the heat treat isnt done right. If I remember correctly this is one reason the S35V was developed. I remember when it came out years a go it was a big step forward. Now days there are better steels out there. Unfortunatly many still consider it the cats meow. The Spyderco Military I carry has a S30V blade. I have Spyderco Militarys with steels iI like better so why do I still carry it. Because this is one that was done right. The whole knife is sweet.    :)
