Will,
In one of the old threads, that I can't find right now, Jerry was asked about how to tell the difference between A2 and INFI. Here is what he replied
"We can tell by applying certain chemicals to the exposed steel. Often, the A-2 models were gun blued between the handles, but not always. Hole location and other measurements can also help us determine the grade of steel used. If you're not sure what you have, you can return the blade to our shop and we will test it for you.
P.S. All Battle Mistresses are made from INFI, there are no A-2 versions.
Jerry Busse"
It might seem strange that I have the quote and not the thread, but then again I am somewhat strange.
I hope this helps.
And of course Brian was right anyway.

Brian,
I really didn't have any reason to post to this thread since you had it taken care of, but I thought I should do something around here to keep my Mod. Status .
DN,
Only one cure for those DARN shakes. Good luck
Will,
No problem, glad I could help.
Chip,
That is actually why I have that Quote saved, however, the FAQ's were getting so long I didn't think anybody would read them if I added anymore. Besides, this way I have something to do around here.
