When the last buffalo falls on the plains,

That's not a forced pattern. It is a San Mai blade - a 1095 tool steel core sandwiched between two layers of 416 stainless steel.

I glance at this forum occasionally. I'm not a maker, but I love knives. I've always wondered about the takedown feature. Seeing the video was enlightening.
