    This looks like a nice addition to my knife collection

    I think I will pull the trigger and buy it. It might even become a favorite pocket knife.

    Seems a little high for just a 440 steel blade. But it is Purdy. Do you have any Berettas to go along with it?

    No, but my son does.

    For a few dollars more you can go to the Buck custom knife shop and get an American made knife with S30V steel blade.

    Just a thought.

    True

    FTR, I am not unfamiliar with "good steel". One of my knives has what I believe to be a premium steel -- VG-10 from Seki, Japan. I have several knives with Aus-8. The sharpest knife I own (and have ever seen) is my Izula with 1095 Carbon Steel. My Ka-bar has 1095 Cro-Van, and my Ontario bayonet also has 1095 Carbon. There are literally dozens of different quality steels, all with trade-offs between sharpness, toughness, brittleness, chipping, etc.

    With this Beretta knife -- as a pocket knife, I wasn't focusing so much on the blade as I was on the beautiful handles.

    In that case, go with it. Also take a look at Great Eastern Cutlery (GEC) for beautiful traditional folders with nice handles. They have a two blade in a scout pattern with a shield engraved withe "Beer Scout". Might be up your alley.
