Steel change-over date?

[swimmerdude1127]

Hello all,
I know it's posted somewhere on here but with the search function down I can't seem to find it....

Anyway, when did the Leek change from 440 to 13C26. Mine is a 1660ST stamped July 05.

Thanks for the help.

This should help.

There may be another, but I think that one has most of it.

BTW, Basic, Gold and Platinum members are the only ones
allowed to use the search function. It bogs down the servers or something.

dude, that is doubtlessly 440A, unless there was something before that. the changeover was july 07 (I think) but definitely far after 05.
