There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda.

i am a blades newbie and would like some of your opinions and recommendations on the following kickstarter
http://kck.st/2KCF8OM
I have a friend who is a keen outdoors man and would like to get him something unique or different ( he has quite a collection like TOPs etc blades ) and saw this kickstarter but of course, have no clue on how viable the design is or the steel they are using. Currently they are using 9Cr18Mov steel but have plans for VG-10. Which is all gibberish to me as i am unclear what these types of steel are.
Any opinions or suggestions welcome. Thank you.
