Just got one of those new Cold Steel OSS Black Bear Classic copies made with "sub-zero" quenched 420 J2 stainless. After everything I've ever heard about 420 J2, I was expecting this knife to be a major POS and the only reason I got it was to do some tests just to see... Well, not only was I NOT disappointed in the performance, I was actually amazed!!!! I will be posting a full review in a few minutes on the Reviews forum...

Peace-

I don't know whether to tell you that naked fellow isn't the Emperor, or tell you the Emperor isn't naked....

It's not 420J2. It's 420HC.

Mr. Allen, you are quite possibly correct. In the catalog it just states "420 sub-zero quench" which I probably interpreted as J2.
What is the difference between J2 and HC (if you can eloborate...)?

Thanks!
(and tell that bastid to put some clothes on!!!)
