I've got a mini SOCOM in 154 CM. It is a very different steel than the ATS34 of the AFCK. I'm not sure what it is (HT, etc.), but it can't touch the edge holding capabilities of my ATS3 blade.

S90V is an awesome steel. Is your SOCOM a framelock or one with the lock bar mech? Ive always wanted a full size original SOCOM. Now that I've found the yard, I'll sadly never be able to afford another knife brand again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
