Why I think you should give the Mtech MT-20-70 a shot.

If you are handy and you want to make a knife for yourself, the Mtech MT-20-70 is great foundation. I think the exceptions to brittle tool steel would be high speed steel/M2/M4/H13, but I don't see too many blades made from this material, I think I should make one (:

Very practical explanation of why you believe is a good knife, liked the hammer scales and the shape

Bro, that gray thing you removed while sharpening your knife was actually a titanium recover

I have one it is geat bushcraft knife. I have a quite a few other knifes. I seem to go back to this one.

Yes it's good, you really got to get rid of the flat grind, that grind makes it poor for chopping or work with wood, but again it's a great start to double convex. Thanks!

The good news here is that it is genuinely full tang. Most of well established companies call their knives full tang while there are generous cut outs beneath the sheath making it weak. Ka-bar Becker new version's skeleton tang is one such example of blasphemy. Shame on big companies. they should learn from mtech.

Mtech says they use 440... either A or C. Assuming the worst, it's 440A, which is fine with me :)

You were saying that 1 was to soft . Could it be hardened?

My tool steel knife handles that almost every single day and always dropping the damn thing just fine

prefer the MTE-FIX006-BK. Literally the same knife but nicer sheath for $0.70 more.
