This knife is one that we prototypes a couple of times and got nothing but very positive feed back from the folks that had them. The size is just right for hiking and camping and can also do EDC duty with no problems. We tested the CPM 3 V Steel - with our Heat Treat - for over a year and found it to be even tougher than Our A-2 with even better edge holding.
This Combination of the Design and the Steel has given all of us a great platform to put this steel through it's paces and see how all of you like it compared to the A-2. CPM 3 V is much more expensive than A-2 and is much more difficult to grind and polish for us.
The Lil' Canadian is just the right size to be able to really use it hard - in a wide verity of tasks and see how we all like it.
All of these knives are Clearly marked on the right facing of the Blade with the CPM 3 V- Marking.
