Benchmade Steel

[spoonslayer]

Hey guys,

Could someone tell me what kind of steel the BM CQC7 is made of? Also, fill me in on the differences of aus-8, ats34, and any other important steels. Tell me which you think are better.

On the opening page of BF there is a link to "Knowledge Base". Included is Joe Talmadge's FAQ on Steels.

Here is the direct link to his FAQ:

Thanks DC

which reminds me, though, that I still have ATS-34 listed as teh ultimate stainless. I'm surprised I haven't been taken to task over that yet! I'll try to make the FAQ more reflective of the current stainless trends next month
