Another Utah Special out the door, These are becoming very popular! The 5" blade is right in the sweet spot IMO. CPM154 stainless @ HRC 61 for excellent edge retention and toughness.
That Utah special looks awesome. For a non-knife nerd, what are the features of the steel in the blade?
How “custom” are these?
Can you make it a little more awesome and call it an Arizona Special?

CPM 154 is a premium stainless steel made by Crucible Industries that does everything VERY well, hardness, edge retention, toughness and is very stain resistant.
Very custom
Arizona Desert Ironwood would make it scream ARIZONA!!!!! ---just sayin...

Reminds me of one of my grandmothers. She was a little rough around the edges. One of her many saying was "Louder than pissin' on a flat rock!"
ETA: Meant to say this when I posted and got sidetracked. Those are some good looking blades OP. I too am wondering what makes them "Utah Specials". Was it originally for some Utah guy that wanted a custom blade?
