Serious questions about 4034 steel

What is sock puppet steel? I've never heard this expression before and I get that it has a negative connotation, but what makes it "sock puppet?" Simply a way of saying that it's of poor quality?
Yes. Just as a sock makes a cheap imitation for an actual puppet!
 
So , right now , you can buy a medium Warcraft 3034 for $30.16 .

Seems like the marketplace does eventually sort things out .

Really good prices on 3V . Pendleton Mini Hunter ~$38 . SRK $99 .

now 28.79....but I prefer the large size.....don't need another knife in this size......
 
That price is unreal.

Got three warcrafts for future modding and a 3v Pendleton..


Debating getting another Pendleton as a backup.
The 3V Cold Steel is very good , IMO . Mini Hunter is small , but great quality blade with full length handle (but thin) .

Their 4034 ? , IDK what to think . Not enough personal experience . I wouldn't expect too much .
 
Back when CS had a representative here everyone asked about 4034. All we were told was how awesome it was and how it blew their minds. Even the knife/lock designer guy (can't recall his name right now) posted and said it was just super dooper. Its hard to imagine it being that good and, if they took a mediocre steel and made it great with heat treat, they should just start with a better steel and make it all super dooperer. The price for their 4034 knives is stupid.
Andrew Demko?
 
Yes, if memory serves. It's been a long time, but I recall him telling us its performance was way above what it should've been.
I had displeasure of using 4034 Outdoorsman Lite and that wasn't my experience. In all honesty - the performance (or better said lack of performance) was terrible!
 
im gonna say I actually prefer it to the 4116. ive only used blade wise on the budget stuff cold steels, but it reminds me of 420hc.
