What a cool piece of military history. That is an enviable find indeed.
 
Makandr,

That is probably the most impressive collection I've seen. I have a question for outside of the normal questions you've had. I recently came across a Russian blade steel that is close to 440c but uses Electro slag remelting. Do you know what steel this is?
Thanks for your time,
Seth
 
Thanks. 95Х18-Ш steel refers to stainless high-alloy steels. It is the Russian analogue of steel according to the American standard AISI 440-С steel and according to the German standard X105CrMo17 steel. Obtained by Electro slag remelting.
