What about a Scrap Yard Anniversary knife? In CPM M4? I'm guessing it may be a little on the higher end but it wouldn't be so bad in a CG. A satin finish option could be available also. The only reason I bring it up is because I have noted many makers moving to this steel, especially those in BLADE competitions. So, here goes a poll.

Ha! So the Anniversary knife is favorable but we are split on the CPM M4. I am very curious as to why, though my guess is price. Have you guys seen the numbers on this steel? There is a reason it wins competitons.

I voted yes/yes - I like many steels and am always up for something new and different here at the Yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Seeing what these guys can do with 154CM, I think they could/should try some other steels on occasion. SR-77, 101 and Infi are great though and I'm okay with those and the occasional 154CM.
I also like: CPM D2 CPM S30V CPM 3V and several others... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

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="" />

I had to look up M4 to see what it was, looks like it is already a fine steel. And after Dan gets done applying his special touch.... we could have a really cool blade.

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.

I see an anniversary knife before the 154M4. But we can wish!

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.

Yes to the knife, No to the steel (not really no, I just don't care what steel they use)
