Recently I had a chance to use a utility/petty by Harbeer Chahal of HSC III Knives, and he asked me to offer it as a passaround to forum members. <br />
<br />
I&#039;ll let him introduce himself.<br />
<br />
&quot;I forge Japanese laminated steel and heat treat myself as taught to me by Murray Carter. I&#039;ve also traveled the country learning from other Masters.  Mike Vagnino taught me slipjpint folders and James Rodebacugh taught me handles and guards.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;m offering this as a pass around.<br />
Its 190mm cutting edge.<br />
Very light, frame handle.<br />
I don&#039;t know how this really works but I assume those interested make a list and each person sends the knife onward.<br />
Please let me know if you&#039;re interested.<br />
