The back is tempered martensite.

Thanks for the information. I'm still curious about the desire to have such a soft back. I've never had a blade break on me, despite doing some *bad* things in my life. But then I've never messed around with a large D2 blade.
Is the company really concerned about a hunter made from D2 breaking? Bob Dozier makes tons of D2 blades, and I don't think he does any differential tempering on his.
