:Dclassic necrothread:D
 
That steel has been around since 70s or even earlier. Nobody calls it a necrosteel somehow. I suppose we should have a new thread dedicated to it annually :)
But then, there's another group of users who will point to this thread complaining about not searching and so no..
 
So just to make sure it makes it to 2015 ..... :D is there a sak that uses a high end steel.? S30v maybe or 154cm? Would be very pumped to have.
 
Say Heah Guy, Is everybody still sleepy after over eating too much turkey, good. I use my Awl alot in the bush. You know, Murphy ' s Law, repairing things, Yeah, I use mine alot, so natch, my B.O.A. pocket knife/awl sort of seen it's day, I usually take good care of my gear, but I managed to chew the Awl pretty good. I thought I would replace it with a brand new Gerber 600 still in the blister pack I got at the pawn shop at a very good price, But it's just a little too bulky for me. Oh, don't get me wrong I'm still going to use it. I saw a some good video's on the Wenger 78, By the time I was ready to pull the trigger they were hard to find, But I got a catalog from S.M.K.W. and look and behold Victorinox had a Delemont Collection Range Grip even better than I wanted in the Wenger 78, I didn't think I wanted a corkscrew on mine, But the more I thought about it, the Corkscrew would be nice to un-do knots, anyhow I got the Victorinox Delemont 78 with a the Awl and phillips, But I can't find any info on the steel they use, The problem with all my S A K ' s it seems I get slight twisted tips on mine, I guess it's better than the tips snapping off, But doesn't that mean the steel is too soft to hold a edge, I really would like to know what steel my new Victorinox Delemont Collection Ranger Grip 78 is made with, any info would be gravely appriciated, Thanx in advance, Oh, for making traps, I use a Folding Jab Saw with wood blades and they seem to work great, and easy to carry, But the saw in my Vic, is a good size, anyhow, if anyone know what steel is used, that would be awesone, , ,
 
All topics are cyclic. Only thing that changes is the periodicity.

Would be the same thread if started anew. And will be.
 
I'm still not %100 sure what steel they're using. But I am sure that it works well for me and I love my saks.

Just wanted to join the fun.

Necro-thread,
Back from the dead,

If I good remember they use (since decades)
