14c28n okay. 4116 Krupp, no thanks. prefer aus8.......

What about AUS-10A

 

[Benjamin Liu]

What about a new version of San Mai with a 4034 core and A2 on each side?

Seriously though, AUS 8 would probably be the best choice in terms of durability, edge holding, and price.

Just need something affordable and some what tough. I’m sure with 9” of sharpened steel it will be thumped on.

The guard on the Oyabun and Kobun is not much larger than the one on the Kyoto, and the Kyoto is often sold at around $20.00 and sometimes even less.

My first one was $20.00 and the other four I bought for Christmas presents were around $15.00 each.

The price difference between making a rubber and metal guard would be less than the typical price fluctuation we see in CS knives during a typical year.

I just picked this up for $20!

That’s a Deal of a lifetime! Best deal I got was a Spyderco Dragonfly and Slab sided Worker for 50.00 total at a flea market!

S35VN steel would be nice.

3V would be....Better

3V would be....Better

Both would be too costly to meet the spirit of the original offering.

I had no idea until today that Cold Steel offered the Oyabun made in Taiwan after they ended their Seki Japan contract,
