Composite Blade Leek review & CPM-D2 questions

[Dog of War]

UnknownVT has posted a nice review of the composite blade Leek with some great photos on the Knife Reviews & Testing forum:

Also some questions are raised about the CPM-D2 steel used in this knife that I'm hoping maybe Thomas, Tim, or someone from Kershaw can clarify. Seems Crucible hasn't made a data sheet available, and there appears to be some confusion about this steel.

DoW, I'll get you some answers next week when I'm back in the office.

Thanks, Thomas. You guys at Kershaw are such straight shooters, it just didn't seem possible to me that this is a non-PM steel. Figured I'd better check -- always like to have my facts straight (uh, despite the fact that it may not seem that way very often. )
