Danbo,
I think 440C would be a good choice for this knife.
I think Case doesn't seem to quite see the big picture. I know they think that if they use a higher priced steel then they'll have to raise the price of their knives so high that no one will buy them.
I think that while their arguement deserves some merit it still doesn't float with me. I can't seem to understand how it's possible for so many maker/manufacturers to use such great steels in their knives and still stay in business but yet Case is different???
If they would just take a chance and make a knife, like this one, and use a quality stainless steel in it's construction, then I truly believe that many people would buy it.
W.R. Case & Sons has the potential to be even bigger & better than they could ever imagine if they would only step into this millenium and join the rest of us.
Don't get me wrong, I really do love their current knives, I suppose mostly for their aethestics and collectibility, but I would also love to see them start to produce real user knives (folders
& fixed blades as well). So many people are practically beggin them for this but yet they continue to ignore all the signs. Unfortunately it's not just their loss, it's our as well....
