a neighbor passed away recently and as his kids were cleaning out the house i was shown a pile of stuff for charity and was asked if i saw anything i liked. the one thing i took was a folding camp type saw that says it was made in taiwan out of sk4 steel still in the original package. how many types of sk steels are there and is sk4 a decent steel?
