From what I understand it was Jan. 2007 and blades dated later than that are 13C26. ( at least for the leek)
 
Yes, I believe the changeover date for eveything was July 07, but they are currently rolling out a new steel that will eventually be in all their knive 14C28N.

As most of you may now know, we are in the very tough process of changing over all of our knife blades that utilize 440A over to Sandvik 13C26.

The way we have decided to identify the change in steel will be by the "born on date" (these dates are engraved on every blade). The starting point for this modification are blades that are marked "July 07" will be 13C26 steel, any knife born prior is 440A.

The following knives marked with July 07 will now be 13C26 steel:

*Leek (1660, 1660ST, 1660CKT, 1600CKTST, 1660BR, 1660BB, 1660Trout, 1660VIB, 1660VIBST)

*Centofonte/Onion's (1610, 1615)

*Mini Mojito

*Baby Boa

*Blackout (1550, 1550ST)

*Whirlwind (1560, 1560ST, 1560RMEF)

*Blur (1670SG10, 1670RD, 1670RDST, 1670TBLKST, 1670BLK, 1670BLKST, 1675RDST, 1675BLKST)

Thanks for the patience with all of this.


To insure that there is no confusion, the Speed Bump, Cyclone's, Need's Work, JYD's, Groove's, ET's, and Storm's have always been produced with 13C26.
