The tip of the shank a bit controversial in the plan safety (may be called "an alligator tooth"?), But the length seems very comfortable.
Took the form of a collection.
I also want to try the 01 steel work. Where can I buy it?

I buy it from the Uddeholm company from Sweden. They have a local store in Hungary, so I can order steel through them.

O1 is a very nice steel to work with, is easy to HT, and takes a fabulous edge. Actually the easy HT isn't too important to me, because I have it done by a professional, but for those who do it at home this could be a major advantage over others.

Thank you very very much.
Found through a search engine dealers, not far from my town.

And one more little question ... What size me better order the billet?

Yes, thats it! If I remember correctly, than they make it in 6mm thick and 30-45-57mm wide billets, which are about 4m long. You can buy a whole billet, but they will cut it to size for you if you request it, but it isn't cheap (about 15$ per cut).
