I re-manufacture and sell one. I also use it, extensively.
Unfortunately, it fails your criteria on three of the six counts.
1. Can be used for carving smaller objects
2. Has lock back blade(s).XXXXXXX
3. Requires no modification to the blade (by me).
4. Holds an edge really well.
5. Is reasonably priced. ???????????

6. Can be ordered from a catalog XXXXXXX

Wade at Wadesworld, Notice that I posted that inquiry on a good pocket knife about one year ago. Now I've been carving for a little less than 2 years. Which means that when I posted that inquiry I knew less than I know now. Which, by-the-way is not very much. I will be saving some money to acquire one of your modified knifes as soon as I can...Thanks, Tom H

Any idea where one might find a piece of band saw blade?

You can get lumber mill band saw blade from a lumber mill. Phone the mill and ask to speak to the filer, the guy who sharpens up the blades. He'll be glad to give you some blade instead of throwing it into the recycling bin.

Wear gloves and work boots when you pick it up.
