Leave it to my brother Dan to purchase all of the available ELMAX in the U.S. and europe at the time from Bohler, to pour into some killer cool blades from the Yard!!! 
He has surface ground this ELMAX stock down to an ultra thin .090", given these blades a full height flat grind, and then taken the edges to a vapor thin .008" - .010" prior to sharpening!!!! ELMAX is a great steel for edge holding and stain resistance but it does lack toughness in thinner dimensions when optimized for edge holding. . . Moral of the story? . . . Slice don't pry!
Specs: Scrap Max 3.75
Steel: ELMAX
Hardness: 60-62 Rc
Blade length: 3 3/4"
Overall Length: 8 3/4"
Thickness: .090"
Finish: Machined Satin
Weight: 3.3 Ounces
Grind: Full-Height Vapor Grind
Price: $79.95
You can expect this to be the first of many models you will see in ELMAX from my big bro. :thumbup:
