The Ka-bar website lists the steel used for the new Swabbie as 1095 Cro-Van. Today I received the new hard copy catalog in the mail and it say's the Swabbie is SK5? Also at a different hardness.

Anyone know definitively what steel is being used?

Thanks.
 
its 1095CV. Misprint in the glossary.

Thank you!

Also, it has me wondering. Now that the Zombie line is going to be made in the USA are other knives in the line going to be 1095 CV too?

I have a War Sword in SK5, wondering if future models will be in 1095?
 
All ZK knives are made in the USA now and all have Cro van. Same steel as the Beckers, Johnson's and all the fixed blade USA KA-BARs.
