As far as I know, the carbon are carbon, the stainless are stainless, and the triflex is carbon with softer laminates. They also have "original" moras which are laminated carbon steels but I don't know what the laminates are. Its pretty exciting to get a new user for $10 bucks, I just ordered the #1 and 711G both in carbon last week and am eager to use em. Its also a relief after spending the kinda money I spend on customs and high end productions.
There's something nice about being able to just give the knife to a friend after a weekend out in the sticks, don't you think?
After reading about some bending issues I think I would baton only as a last resort with these blades, and a non-lam would probably keep its shape better than a softer laminate (or just break). They're taskers and slicers. Stocking stickers I mean stuffers!
