Well Dick...it looks like we share similar taste in knives as well as music, Pink Floyd is awesome...of course, I'm more of a Darkside of the Moon person than a Wall person (slightly)...but Time and Comfortably Numb are probably their best songs, so I'm torn a bit on that...
HideAway Knives also known as HAK Knives, is a knife store with an innovative design.
The Coogler Claw, the Brock Blades Straight Edge, and of course...the Strider Tiger Striped Hybrid are all gorgeous...
although I don't know which one would be the most practical shape. I like the coogler because it seels like a good ripping and slashing implement...the brock blades straight is a stabbing tool...and the strider is almost too pretty to use, but seems to have more trapping and joint locking (non-lethal) type applications.

Keep in mind whatever you carry though it has to be proven it was carried as a weapon you need a reason for carrying it. Carrying a baseball bat to my office has little excuse, but on the way to a little league game has some merit.
Also altering anything to make it more effective puts the burden back on you
You can come up with all the creative legal weapons you want. Sure a baseball bat is legal. Sure you can use a pocket knife or your belt. They even sell "unbreakable" umbrellas now strictly to be a non-suspicious legal weapon.
The problem comes when you actually use whatever weapon you have on some one. If you break a mans cheek bone with a nunchaku or a baseball bat, you're looking at the same amount of trouble either way. Just because one weapon can be considered legal to carry around doesn't mean it's legal, to injure some one with.
If you get in a street fight, don't think you can whip out your "legal" weapon to defeat your opponent and expect the police to give you a pat on the back about it. If you really feel the need to carry a weapon, check out your local laws to see what type of self defense items are legal (pepper sprays, tasers, etc.)
Once again it's the intent as to why you have that item with you. You can be charged with carrying a weapon and assault with the weapon. Pepper spray and a baseball bat would get you the same charges if you attack someone with them.
I've read about D2, and I have a large Kershaw blade made of the stuff. Not sure about the rustproof stuff, though. Sounds like it'd be really heavy on chrome and vanadium and other metals that don't really help performance.
the h1 is good. i have a spyderco salt 1 thats made with h1. i sliced through a backpack with it, and accidentally hit the zipper. the blade sliced through the zipper no problem
