[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2636611, member: 91783"] I always have myself and I still preferer the 52-100 blades for my own use but in todays world it seems that a lot of people like a stainless steel blade . In the 70's when I first got a stainless steel blade made by Kabar patterned after the buck lock back made for the U S N it was so hard that I had a lot of work putting an edge on it but it would hold an edge for a long time . It was made of 440-c stainless steel and they had a proprietary tempering and heat treating process that made it hard but tough not brittle . It wasn't cost effective at the time but it met the governments specs . They heated them to 1950 F quenched them and froze them with dry ice for 24 hours then repeated it for a total 3 times before bring it up to 350 F and then water quenched them . gotta love metal and it's micro structure .
