Ok. Well here it is. If you're able to open this link there is some info like composition in here. The links to there other info on the site aren't highlighted but if you click on them they'll work.

Let me know if this works.

Video worked at home.
Overall looks cool, but I've seen the same feats done with so many steels. Besides video quality is not the best, I'm not even sure they chopped 10 beams or 1 in 10 places...
Chopping and rope tests depend on the operator skills to great extent, plus knife geometry, weight, edge, etc.
So, I wouldn't base my conclusions about the steel just on that video.

:thumbup: Well said. There are many factors to consider. I for one want to wait and see how the steel performs over time here in SA. It apparently is made by another company (overseas but do not know who). The importer in this regard had to change the name due to a agreement with the manufacturer that the original name has copyright or something in the legal area.
