Lc200 N steel on new Tusk

[Surfingringo]

Anyone know anything about this steel?

I'm also curious. I'm also wondering when Spyderco is going to release something in H1 with titanium scales.

I would be more intrigued if they made a floating fishing knife with the H1.

But seems like Spyderco is bring out some new flavors to the table for 2014 like the LC200N and the PowerLock.

From reading this, it says it is an easy to machine stainless steel that can be taken up to 60 HRC, which sounds nice. Looks to be from a German steel company so I expect to see the Tusk coming from Italy or Taiwan since Golden is working their hardest to keep up with production as it is.

It says "Taiwan" in the product guide.

It looks like this may be the 'new' H1. People have been asking for a Ti handled folder with H1 for awhile, I am guessing this is their response. I can't wait until we have some reviews on the capabilities of this steel.

Ooh that's great to hear! I guess I missed that.

If the source is correct, LC= low carbon, N = Nickel

If the source is correct, LC= low carbon, N = Nickel

My guess would be the N is for "Nitrogen"...

 

[JayGoliath]

Oh yes! My bad.

Ni = Nickel, N = Nitrogen.

Thanks for pointing that out.:thumbup:

"Pressurized Electric Slag Remelting" would be a great name for a rock band.
