golok,
"... talonite.
Is it the latest "in-thing" as far as blades are concerned? When will it ever be affordable for the work-to-death-for-low-pay man-in-the-street?"
Check out David Boye's knives, especially the 'dendritic cobalt' blades. He makes small fixed blades and folders. This material has a lot in common with talonite, which is also like stellite, a cobalt alloy. They don't corrode, even in salt water, sharpen easily, cut even when dull.
