• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Golok

The British ones are high carbon Sheffield steel. The BRKT is 1095. Nothing exotic.
 
Bark River's first one was A2, this second batch is 1095 which I now have:D I too have a Martindale, Sheffield, Valient and now my Bark River.

From Mike Stewart's mouth.


Quote:
The original Run of Goloks are 0170-6.

The New ones are going to be 1095.

We moved away from the A-2 on those.

You will like the performance of the 1095 new ones the way I heat treat them



Mike was considering A2 on the new golok run but went to 1095 due to the excessive cost of such a big chunk of A2. Personally I would have paid the difference.

No BRK&T Goloks were ever made in A2 unless they were a one off prototype.
 
Yeap, you're right riddleofsteel...I must have recalled the discussion to have them in A2; that would have been great. I must say the 1095 is actually pretty good so far though,

Thank you. I have a notion to get one if I could just think of a good reason :D
