this is a very nice looking knife. and since it's made in Pakistan the steel is 420-J tool steel for my money one of the very best steels for a knife blade. Equal to or better than say AUS-8 Japanese steel. Takes an edge w/ minimal effort and maintains that edge very well. Yes I would love to add this to my personal collection. Great auction my friend. As always GOOD LUCK in this and in all of your endeavors.
