New Dirk & Basket Hilt

http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...9&goto=newpost but how would you say the quality of the steel was (in terms of it's ability to take and keep a good edge? I may well get to this project, sometime soon.

My blade took a good edge & has kept it ( I do not do much cutting with it, but afterward, I touch it up with an Arkansas stone ( cross sticks)
BTW, I emailed the supplier abut the metallurgical specs. If I get them I will let you know.

If you do decide to venture forth on this project, let me know. Plus if I can be of any help, also let me know.
