I think 4ss just means 4inch stainless steel

I have gotten good at googling for mystery steels but come up empty on this one.

I think the number just refers to pattern number or something. The steel is probably their Tru-Sharp stainless.

Just a mater of preference.

I would like to know what sheath comes with it.

I read somewhere here yesterday that "Tru-Sharp" is actually 420HC, I think the same formula as Buck's Stainless.

My Case knives with "Tru-Sharp" have held up really well.

thx - cpr

They mention only two types of stainless steel on ther website - 'surgical SS' and 'ATS-34'. The surgical SS is probably something like 420HC.

I assume is 429HC then.
Too bad, I wanted a little better steel in this ones.

Thanks for the help!

it comes with a leather sheath like anza knives

would love to get the orange drop but on eBay it's too expensive and shipping to italy is high for the auctions I found.

This ATS model is nice, but it has the soft handles.

Surgical stainless typically refers to 300 something stainless. Not exactly great cutlery steel, which fits the Case stainless IMO. I really dislike that stuff. The CV steel (0170-6 perhaps?) and I get along fine. I won't willingly buy a plain stainless case as I'm not a collector and that's about thev only use I could see for SS of that low quality.

I do have a Case Slimlock in BG42. If they made all their SS knives in that steel it would be worth their prices. Joe
