Well, you snooze, you lose! My CS Christmas Sale catalogue arrived in the mail, and I didn't act quickly enough. I have been toying with buying a Broken Skull, but have been put off with the name and the price. Then along comes a pink one for $40 in CTS XHP steel... and the Tactical Rondel marked down over $100. Do I jump on the deal? Of course not! Now they are sold out.
So I'm thinking about the blue Broken Skull for $50, but wait a minute, it's listed as XHP steel also, but their web site says S35VN steel. Which is it? Next stop, Walmart web site. I ended up paying a few dollars more (even with the free shipping), but their web site says XHP steel. Plus, I can return it to the store for a full refund if that's not the correct steel.
I was too slow on the draw. Can anyone comment on the differences between the two steels?
By the way, I could have lived with the pink handles as they match the color of the Shell Pink Stratocaster that just showed up at my house...
