which steel is more desirable from a users standpoint as well as from the collectors standpoint.
im asking because ive been presented with a trade for my brand new hssr for an 810-801 that is in like new condition. the only thing that im unsure of is that there is no XXX/300 etching on the blade.

yep, the seller sent me pics of the knife and box, the box reads 710-801 121/300
Is the marked with "cpm-m4"?... the only thing that im unsure of is that there is no XXX/300 etching on the blade.

Maybe BM replaced the blade - then it would make sense that there's no LE-scrawl on the blade - just the "cpm-m4".
So if everything else looks like a -801 i'd guess it is a real 801.
THey could have swapped the blades because there was an issue with the original blade or because the owner paid the 35 $ for a blade swap. In any case: the meaning of "slightly used" would be interesting.
And maybe the owner loves serrated blades, has multiples of the -801s but no HSSR and/or has no money, just that knife but REALLY wants an HSSR.
