Hmm according to Ethan Becker 1095 and the old 50100/CarbonV/01670 are about the same performance wise, so the move to Kabar could end up being a positive all around.
They are about the same just not identical. 01670 is an anhanced, chrome vanadium steel. What it has that 1095 lacks is nickel, chrome and some vanadium. 1095 is still a great steel especially for the outdoors due to ease of sharpening. Going with Ka-bar is a wise choice.
