    I just beat the shit out of it mate, it deforms the Damascus and creates the pattern otherwise the lines would be straight and boring.

    So want one.

    Loved the Fox River but handle was too short for me. Looks like BRK listened and put a Gunny handle on a Fox River blade. Genius. Now how do I afford (another)one?

    I would like to know which website you are getting your wood and steel from, does not seem to be the gameco/artisan one I use...

    Nice. Those Lite Hunters come in 2 sizes. I think yours is the smaller one. I've got the slightly bigger one. If you have tried A2 before you will find that this one holds an edge a bit longer. BR pushed the hardness up a point or so to 60 on these.

    This is the II. blade is a touch over 4". I read your description a while ago on the steel a while ago which convinced me to give it ago.
