BR, I ran accross an old article about bait knives in an old issue of Wooden Boat. The guy was making them out of Berylium Copper. You ever heard about it? It said it was the hardest non ferus metal available. I looked around for about two months, met some neat people during the hunt, including a silver smith and a manufature of copper lamps, got some strange looks(it is an alpha emiters/radiactive), and finally gave up. In the article it made a great bait knife. (big hint for Christmas gifts for all your V-20 friends)
