David, did you ever find out what kind of steel these blades and springs are made of?? Thanks!

------------------
Take care!! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

Michael,

Bart is trying to find out. That´s what he found out so far:

>>It's not a standard AISI or German designated steel, but it's like 420,
with .60 Carbon, so Buck would call it HC, but it has less chrome 15 insted of
17, and some extra tungsten (which I don't understand) and the part tested had
too much Suphur and Silicon to be skandinavian. To Spyderco, Benchmade
standards this steel would not be pure enough, but forging stuff has the same
effect so pure is not real a good term.
Next week I get the complete rapport. Stay tuned. <<<
