I am confused.

Well..... he didn't really imply that "numbers and letters" was next - he just said "soon". So, DFLE could still be an option next (????).

But, the "numbers and letters" thing is getting to me.

If Dan is so specific that numbers comes before letters, he is probably also specifice about plural numbers and plural letters per steel designation (????) - or he could be implying plural as multiple pieces of steel with this numbers and letter designation (????).

This is confusing. There are not many steels with a number then letter designation and none that I remember Busse ever having used - except S30V for the Rat Trap and that is "letter, numbers, letter" and I am pretty confident there isn't a S30V folder coming from Scrap Yard any time soon - if ever (????).

All I can come up with are:

420 series
440A, 440B, 440C
154CM
12C27
50100-B
440V (aka S60V)
420V (aka S90V)
10V
3V

3V seems like a type of steel that Busse would tinker with. Very tough. Not INFI or SR77 tough, but very tough and arguably a VERY good knife still - probably better knife steel than A2 or D2 (????) But, I think 3V is expensive.

Dumpster Diggin' Dan must have scored something good - he seems pretty proud(????)
