Can anyone tell me if there are any Gen 4 XM-18 3.5's in CTS-XHP which are unmarked on the blade? As I understand it the general rule is if unmarked then the steel is 20V while S35V and CTS-XHP would be marked as such. I have come across some references to unmarked XHP's when they first came out but no solid proof and not related to the Gen 4's.

If anyone could tell me the marking convention on G4 XM-18 3.5's it would be appreciated and if it would be possible to have a Gen 4 in CTS-XHP but w/o being marked as such?

Thanks!
 
So there are currently no gen 4 xm-18 3.5" knives in any steel but 20cv?

I ask as I have seen multiple dealers claim both XHP and S35N on gen4 xm-18's and hard to tell what is correct.

Helps to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak.

Thanks Rob. Appreciate you taking the time to answer directly
