Golok

What kind of steel do they use in the Golok?

 

[Horn Dog]

The British ones are high carbon Sheffield steel. The BRKT is 1095. Nothing exotic.

The Valiant goloks are literally "spring steel". Guess that means 5160.

Bark River's first one was A2, this second batch is 1095 which I now have 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
