    I bought a couple of those Atlanta Cutlery dirk blades a few years back (before I was making all my own blades). Unless there have been changes, the blades are left really thick. They are very pretty, but the two I got were so thick I had to totally regrind them in order to get down to a sharpenable edge. Otherwise, a very functional way to make a dirk.

    Things may have changed in the years since I did that project, so if you get one, please report!
