Junkyard Dog composites?

Can you tell me the composite blade material the JYD II has has in the past please?

The cutting edge has always been CPM- D2. The rest of the blade was listed as 13C26 at first, now 14C28N.

Great knife. The clip is less than great, but I fixed mine.

With some composite friends.

D2! Ok!
I just pulled my old Gray one out and started useing it. I had forgotten what a Formidable knife it was and still very sharp in it's "13" steel.
How does the D2 preform?

CPM-D2 has the same composition as D2, but it's made in a particle metallurgy format. This change in the process compliments the Molybdenum and Vanadium properties of reduced grain size; thus providing greater strength and toughness. The elements of CPM-D2 Steel allow for superior cutting performance and edge retention

There is also a titanium version with SG2 as the cutting steel

What did you use to drill and tap the holes for the new pocket clip?

What did you use to drill and tap the holes for the new pocket clip?

2/56 tap and a wire size #50 drill bit. I pre-drilled with 1/16" and then finished with the #50.
