D2 is a great steel if heat treated properly for use as a knife steel. D2 is a member of the high speed tool steel family and Bob Dozier is THE expert when it comes to D2 heat treat. The steel is the heart of the blade but the heat treat gives it its soul.
I like the design of that blade and hope the heat treat is top notch and gives you years of excellent service.
I like it Capt O.....handle is too much for me to like though.
How's it in-hand?
I have a knife made from a file...Its the bottom one in the picture.
It keeps an edge and get sharp real quick...Sorry for the thread drift...

DK made a "thick" Bowie like mine with a full tang and olivewood scales/handles. These knives would be great for a Javalina or Wild Boar hunt where one would be required to dispatch the animal with a blow from a knife blade.
Like that "ex-special-forces" guy on Dual Survival. IIRC he made a spear from his knife.
