Steel is steel and weighs what steel weighs... If you were trying to say that spring steel has a lot of strength for weight, no, it's pretty mediocre - especially in transverse impact strength. It's not hard to work either - village knife makers manage it all over the third world. And finally, the Hoodlum's blade is far from unusual in its design or handling - it's an almost mm for mm copy of a Trailmaster blade, with only the addition of that dubious notch (which seems to have caused quite a few blade fractures) and and angled tang.<br /><br />(You can get an almost identical blade profile for $25 from MTECH in the 151 Bowie, in very usable 440A with a straight tang - or the $600 Fallkniven Thor in laminated VG10 - or more: this is of the most common blade patterns in large knives!)Netbookerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009114955640769551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3438417528848988506.post-35477309930009369132011-08-23T01:19:06.853-04:002011-08-23T01:19:06.853-04:00Luke does amazing work.
