Ok, I'm starting to think a through Tang would be a good idea, I'll trust in your experience with the threads and try it. I'll keep that in mind about the 0.2% vanadium in the O-1. Thanks Jim.

Damon, that knife is gorgeous. Any tips on grinding the distal taper? If I have to choose between the two I'd rather have a light and fast fighter over a chopper. My thoughts were to either cut out a rectangle of steel for the blade, dykem the top and bottom edges, and grind the rectangle of steel as I would a bevel down it's length and then grind the profile, or I would do the same thing but grind the profile first. My reasoning for the first method is that it seems that it would be easier to keep the grind even down it's length even though it would seem to be a lot of extra work. I'm open to pretty much any tips here.
