Found this in the becker thread,,lol

Dang and I just had mine analyzed, I did not realize that my test was wrong. Oh well. But wait, I noticed mine has some copper in it and some manganese as well. That is a lot of elements in this steel. I might as well trash this test. ;)

01/2013 Test for me on 1998 INFI blade:
Fe 87.9% Iron
Cr 7.9%Chrome
Mo 1.3% Molybdenum- Prevents brittleness, adds machinability and improves corrosion resistance
Co .8% Cobalt - Cobalt improves red hardness and high temperature strength and does not form carbides.
Ni .7% Nickel - Nickel adds toughness and corrosion resistance
C .5% carbon
V .4% Vanadium- Refines grains and contributes to toughness
Mn .3% Manganese- Adds strength and wear resistance
N 0.11% Nitrogen- Acts like carbon
Cu 0.09% Copper- Prevents surface oxidation

are these real stats or a joke I dont understand? what steel is closest in composition to infi?

That pic freaks me out....too much coincidence:eek:

Watch this( coming up)

I thought INFI was just a Carling Black Label can with the Busse heat treatment protocol.

It explains why it is so corrosion resistant and also why INFI makes me think of beer...

No joke, I had that knife analyzed for kicks last month. That is INFI

Interesting, and good on you. How do those new results compare to the old reported numbers?

Why did you choose to test old INFI (which is a known quantity) instead of new INFI?

I m going to listen to Cobalt on this one.....he might want it back one day;)

I cant get over the knife on similar ottoman :D

cuz it's what I use ;)

The only difference is the added copper and manganese. The new technology probably reads more than what was available 13 years ago.

yeah, I will listen to Cobalt.....he might want it back one day;)

yeah, it is very similar. In fact probably made within a few months of each other, I'd bet.
