Additional details for anyone interested...it's O-1 tool steel, shaped by stock removal (grinders, files, and some machine milling), heat treated to about Rockwell 59. I had a bit of time constraint since my daughter asked me to make it only a month before her wedding, so I didn't have enough time to do anything fancy with the grip. Maybe next time... [Ha! I learned my lesson...there won't BE a next time! Making four identical edge grinds by hand is infinitely more difficult than just two on a regular knife.]
