CRKT using AUS 118?

[GarageBoy]

Since CRKT discontinued AUS8 Plain Edges for their CRKT M16, but they recently started to use AUS 118 in the Wasp, should I hold my breath for a AUS118 M16 in PE?

Slightly off topic, but CRKT compairs AUS 118 to ATS 34. I have never used AUS118, so could anyone verify as to how well this steal performs?
Thanks.

i think the only M16 that is higher grade steel is the Titanium combo edge spear point & tanto.

Here is Columbia River's BLADE STEEL FACTS page with a comparison of AUS 118 to 6M and 8.

The Ti is still AUS 8 IIRC
