Anaconda 3

[cbach8tw]

Has anyone tested or worked with Blackjack Anaconda 3 yet? It is made in China , but seems good quality steel and a good design, although the sheath is flimsy cordura which can break easily. Mainly, what steel is 10Cr17 and can you tell me if it is full tang? I have an original Blackjack Anaconda 2 made in Japan years back, anyone brave enough to use that one despite it could be collectible?

10Cr17 should be 1.0% Carbon with 17% chromium. This is similar to the composition of 440C.

______________440C
Carbon______0.95 - 1.20
Mang___________1
Cr__________16.00-18.00
Moly___________0.75

Thanks, I had Mike Stewart at another site tell me it is a hidden tang, very wide to end and similar to 440c or Aus 10. Has anyone used the Anaconda 2 from years past? What about finding a Anaconda 1 for sale to add to my collection, since the Anaconda 3 will be my using one for clearing weeds around the house. My weed eater when on the fritz years ago and I now have an excuse to have some fun! Or when I go camping.
