Now that is weird. The KaBar USA made BK13 has always been advertised as 440A everywhere I have seen it. Its in the Becker blade database as 440A. Its listed as 440A on Knifecenter.com and everywhere else I just checked. I have bought 5 KaBar BK13s from KaBar and their packages were all marked 440a.
I still have one in the package. Here it is I just took this picture.

I also have one of the Chinese ones. They look very different and are marked China.

The packaging on my US made one is different. And it doesn't say the material. I'll strip it and put it in some vinegar.
