USOCOEE RIVER stockman knife - abalone handle HI! The stockman knife #OC-509AB is a very good-looking knife. SS with 440 hardness is an excellent attribute. It is VERY hard to "find" and purchase a genuine mother-of-pearl, or abalone handled knife. Also, when one is located, it generally cost an arm & leg!! The price of this particular knife - FROM YOU is reasonably priced. Thanks, Walter
