Applying Occam’s razor principle, we can reasonably conclude that it’s mostly due cutting cost, moving to another manufacturer and the manufacturer having an abundant supplies of 4034 steel.
Like someone mentioned above, CS is trying to add salt to the wound by trying to tell us how 4034 is superior.
Rule #1 when you try to communicate - know your audiences. This statement from Lynn was addressed directly to Bladeforums members here. Does CS honestly think that the member here on BF, who knows more about knife than average Joe, is going to believe that 4034 is a superior steel? I find it disrespectful considering there’s many loyal followers who defended CS for many years.
Also it’s odd that CS is not making the announcement anywhere else. Not on Instagram, not on any mailing list. Are they trying to gauge the response here before deciding whether to blast on their social media?
