Hey Will, thanks for sharing the pictures. I got my Patriot out last night just to fondle it a little. Hopefully I'll get a hair whittling edge on it soon and begin with some extended usage stories. I think I read elsewhere that Allen uses PHT to heat treat his steel. I do not think that there is anyone better in the heat treatment industry than PHT. I can't wait to thump on that CPM 154, then shave my face.
Hey there Walter, can't wait to see some in use pics with your Patriot! Concerning the heat treat, I actually do it in house at Fiddleback Forge along with my O1.
Allen, I love my Patriot soooo much, I sent it to Rick Lowe for a test drive. I kept talking about it, and I realized he must think I was crazy, so.... now he can understand first hand. The same day I mailed it, I got my new one in... tapered tang and wenge. You really won with this profile, Allen! I know all the recognition is on the Bison, but everyone needs a Patriot!
