As far as I know all of the knives Nick made with a differential heat treat were out of O1. For anyone who has not used one Nicks knives are amazing performers and that is a really good deal.

Patrick, thank you so much for your input and you are likely right, I just could not confirm it for sure. I've owned so many of Nick's knives in everything from 1095 to A2, to even one in CPM 154. All of them just tremendously well made. Currently, I have three others that are sentimental in nature. Thanks again!
