This might be a stupid question...

What is Elmax steel? Is it a stainless? Is it a carbon? I tried searching in both the Busse and SwampRat forums and this seemed the applicable place to ask.

I have the ScrapMax. I love it, but I noticed it took a patina, rather quickly. I was curious what type of steel this actually was.

Google it. Im not too sure myself but I did do a quick google search a while back when I was looking at a Zero Tolerance folder. just don't remember too much more than its a somewhat newer steel and is getting good feedback.
