What steel(s) was/were used for the Bush Hermits?

[w.t. anderson]

For those who know:
Excuse my ignorance, but were the Bush Hermit knives all A2 or were there other steels offered?

 

[NoRest]

I think for awhile Andy predominantly used A2 on his knives but now he uses several different steels for all his models.

 

[Choppaman]

Agree. Anything previous to three years ago is most likely A2. Go back 6 + years you would see some 01 here and there. Today like NoRest said- A2, 8670, nitro V, S35VN, W2.

A2 on mine

I have one in A2 and O1.

Haven't seen O1 in a new Fiddleback in long time.

 

[Random Dan]

There are also some in 80crv2, although it didn't hang around long before it was replaced by 8670.

True that

 

[Fiddleback Outpost]

They were predominantly A2 when it was first designed and 8670 in the past 18 months or so.
That model came out long after the age of 01 being common on Fiddlebacks... so not many of those.
Likely only one ever in each of the other steels like 01, AEB-L, 80CrV2, CPM 154, etc. Any of those steels in a Bush Hermit are basically unicorns so far.

Thanks for the background!
