Junglee Marshall and blade steel

[2brothers]

So, what is the current steel used in this model?
I have one I bought quite a few years ago
Junglee Marshall, ATS-34, Seki-Japan, SS handles.
It has a few minor scratches because of the SS handles
and me keeping it in a desk drawer for so long.
Heck, I've never even used or sharpened it.
I don't even remember what I paid for it.
I was just messing around with it today and
it has a really nice blade and the oversized thumbstud makes it easy to open.

Anyone else have the same model??

I bought the FRN handled model of the Junglee Marshall last year.
The blade steel on mine is AUS10 hardened to Rockwell 58.
Made in Seki, Japan
It's a linerlock, well done and secure.
Nice large thumbstud. Right handed use only.

The blade is nice. Don't care for the handle. They didn't use thick enough FRN and it flexes a little when you cut hard. It's not like it's insecure. It just does not feel right. I bought it because I wanted to try AUS10 steel and the FRN was about $35. And I do like the steel. Takes and holds a good edge for a long time. I think the steel handled model would be awsome.
