Nice! I like the responses. The truly hard part would be the design of the blade itself. From what I've read CPM M4 is better for big blades. You know we love our mucho grande knives! That being said, I don't think I would care what steel would be used for the anniversary knife. I KNOW I would buy it anyway, lol. me too. lol. Between the swamp and the yard, my cc is smokin'!!

CPM S9V looks amazing. Probably hard to work and hard to sharpen, but once it is there... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Check out how it compares to M4 in wear resistance and toughness. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> CPM S9V

One thing about all CPM steel is that it is expensive. With 52100, 50100 B, S7, 154CM, D2, and probably some left over A2 lying around the Busse scrap yard, I'd be happy with the anniversary knife in one of those more affordable steels with Busse's great heat treat. But that's just my opinion. No. It's not just your opinion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I knew I could count on you for a frugal approach, Bruce. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I'm in for both. Though, I'm a fan of M2 - I've never used M4. 3V is nice too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Yeah, I would love to see 3V with the Busse Heat-treat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

From this quote on the intro page, "... to bring a line of high performance American made blades to the market place at very affordable prices." to the mission page, "... we will keep our manufacturing costs down and our quality unmatched at an affordable price." -- keeping the price down is an integral part of Scrap Yard's company vision. Unless there are scrap piles of these "super steels" lying about, then they're not what the yard is about.

I could see your point if it wasn't for the fact that other companies are putting it out at prices comparable to the Yard. Benchmade, Spyderco, etc.

I'll admit ignorance about exactly how SY's production costs break down, but my assumption is that the cryogenic heat treatment is a much larger expense than the steel. I wouldn't classify other knives as comparable in quality if they don't have a similar heat treat. I used to buy a lot of Cold Steel, and I believe that I own some pretty good Carbon 5 and AUS-8, along with some even better San Mai CS blades, but I don't consider them equal to my SYs.
