An unusual Case! Several years ago Case's wonderful relationship with Tony Bose brought him into an experiment, encouraged by Tony, to make a knife with 154-CM steel to try out that particular material!!! Case made a short run of them (2006 or so?) and gave a bunch to Tony, to distribute to people he knew, to try it out!!
Being friends with Tony, but not much of a steel nerd, he gave me one, but I never used it nor developed a report of it! My Bad!!Case Bose experiment 1.jpgCase Bose experiment 2.jpgCase Bose experiment 3.jpg Those of you who know the Case tang markings can figure out the year this happened!
I believe the 154-CM steel preceded the 154-CPM version of the steel, which is now made from powdered material. I understand it is a "wonder steel" on this knife, but it remains a safe queen, perhaps for some future owner to test!!
R.I.P. Tony Bose!!!
