Dave, Thanks again, this was a very fun and informative shop tour!!! We are very fortunate to have such a great group of guys associated with the KCKA.
These knives are going to be used by some deer hunters. I don't take them to as fine a grit when hand sanding and don't use premium handle material on them. Thanks for the question.
