4.7 Mystery Steel Reveal Day - April 22!

[SURVIVE! Ellie]

Any final guesses now that there have been a few reviews posted?

 

[Doctor Jenks]

Not a clue.

 

[SURVIVE! Ellie]

I'll give you a small hint, I have seen two people guess correctly across all of the social medias.

 

[Psybull]

Bohler R-100 or American version with a better heat treat than SR-101.

 

[Hard Knocks]

Good morning Ellie! I'm sticking with 80crv2.

 

[Ifellonscissors]

+1 on the 80crv2

 

[Doctor Jenks]

Yeah. Yeah. Me too. 80crv2

 

[TLA]

I'm going to say W2.

 

[grogimus]

80crv2 makes sense to me too.

I believe my original guesses were 52100, Cruforge V, W2, or if it was <1% C then maybe 80crV2.

Now that Ellie has described it as less common steel, I'll drop the 52100 and go with Cruforge V or W2 steel.

[Flsurfer]

No Clue

 

[Doctor Jenks]

It's worth guessing, I've heard that if anyone gets it right they get a free hat. . . [emoji12]

 

[NYOutdoors]

PD#1 or Z-Wear?

 

[trevitrace]

Not too common, eh? 1095 it is.

W2 would make it the GSO File Knife!

After sending most of my morning doing research I'm going to agree with chiral.grolim and say Cruforge V. It's in the ballpark with the carbon content, it makes an extremely durable knife steel, it's manufactured by Crucible and Guy seems to be using their products almost exclusively and it has already been mentioned so all of the clues point to Cruforge V.

Common Ellie, what is it? How long do we need to wait??????

 

[trevitrace]

1086v is my official obscure guess.

 

[Revolverrodger]

So which one was it ????

I agree Cruforge V seems like the logical choice but I have no experience with it. Still wishing it was M4 though.

Cruforge V it is!!
