I need to patent that test. I came up with it years ago when cats would come to a show and claim they had a "rarer than hen's teeth" unmarked stainless steel knife, when in reality, all it was was moderately polished over time.

Nice knife you have.

I second Shoot870p's post!

I like the looks and build of the 17 Just don't know if the handle would be a match for my long fingers.

The beauty of the 17 is that you can change the handle if you want, assuming that you can find someone to make a new one for you. Many years ago, a knifemaker (who went out of this business a long time ago) made me a handle for my Astro. Here it is, along with the original handle which is easy to replace.

Holzinger258,
Thanks for pointing that out.I feel like a dim bulb for not seeing that option with the screws looking right at me.

Where or who can make a new handle, plus the screwdriver tied off on the wrist thong?
