Here is a informative article on steel that you might enjoy http://zknives.com/knives/articles/knifesteelfaq.shtml . As many of you know I am a huge Bussekin fan but recently I have branched out and included other steel in my arsenal. One I am impressed with is S30V. Any thoughts on how you think this steel stacks up against our Busse INFI-77 and 101 ? Mostly in combat/surviavl situation is what I am reffering to. Any opinions or other greatly appreciated-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
