Here is my Canal Street Cannitler in D2 steel with external Ram's Horn scales. I really love this knife and I think it just about perfect. The shield fell out of it shortly after getting it, but a lil superglue and it is as good as new. This is number 41 of 50.
That D2 is tough stuff! I'm trying to let a patina develop naturally, but nothing I cut phases it. I've been using it in the kitchen too for good measure. Onions, garlic, fruits, vegetables. Nothing stains it. I think the mirror polish might be slowing down the patina formation a bit. Anyway, here are the pics!
Just look at that horn! This is my first knife with Ram's Horn, and I must say I really like it. Very grippy and attractive to boot! It is also my first knife in D2. I haven't taken it to the stones yet, as it came satisfactory sharp out of the box. But sometime I'll take it to nice thin inclusive 30ish degree angle.

Re: Caniitler in D2 with Ram's Horn
I have always woundered about the panata if it was going to show up on the dull side and not the polished side. Your testing will point this out. Let us here know the out come in about a year.
I do not have any Ram Horn Canal Street, but with your strong like of this it mite change my mind.
Thank you for showing your I really love this knife and I think it just about perfect.
Again I fell Canal Street is the best for the buck.

Nice Cannitler! I also like the pattern and have one with the more common jigged brown bone scales and also one with smooth bone scales. I haven't used either but I think they would be outstanding EDC knives. The thickness of the main blade makes me think it could stand up to some hard use.
