Chris, I recall that article. I've seen it, and it's 440C little brother mentioned a few places. It's very well designed, engineered and made of very high quality materials. I feel it's true calling will be in the MBC/Self defense category, though it is capable of multiple uses of course.
I guess what I'm trying to say is it's such a good design, and so well built I'm surprised it hasn't developed a fanatical following. I would change the grip in about two places to make it more comfortable in cold weather but the balance, feel and ergonomics are really well thought out. it comes alive in the hands.
As I said, It has potential I won't talk about on an open forum. ( I'm ex L/E, and corrections BTW, and don't mean any harm by this). I like the 20Cv for most uses over OU31 even, and that's a compliment.
I'd hope SOG doesn't give up on this steel. I'd love to see it in a Tomcat 3 class folder. There again I love tool steels in knives. Stainless, powder tool steels that are tough, sharpen fairly easy, and take a really nice edge are worth the extra purchase, grinding and heat treating costs IMO.
Hopefully just the beginning. Joe
