what's that mysterious steel? I know AUS 6,8 and 10, but 118... CRKT use that.:mad: I suppose that it's a trash metal...
AARGH... :mad:
 
Whatever it is, I like it! It's on my M16-10F, and this steel is tough. But the question has been asked - IS it tough trash ??
 
You can get the details on its composition from CRKT's website. Basically, a decent steel; AUS-118 takes a good edge and holds it reasonably well. It's not S90V or even ATS-34, but it's not trash either.

A search of the forums and archives for AUS-118 and for ACUTO 440 will get you a bunch more information, including some comparison testing.

Edited to say: Welcome aboard!
