Sog uses this steel in their Bowie, and Cold Steel uses it in the Bushman. The Sog Bowie is $275, and the Bushman is about $16. So this steel type has me wondering. If anyone has any additional information, it would be much appreciated.

I suggest you e-mail the companies involved and ask them. I searched Principal Metals website, and there is no such animal in the metallurgical nomenclature, so it must be something they made up. Walt
 
I have a Bushman. I can't tell you anything technical about sk-5, but I can tell you that I can get a really sharp edge on the Bushman, but the steel will rust before your eyes if you don't dry it off quickly when it gets wet. Also, I saw a folding camping say at Sears that uses this steel too. Sorry I can't tell you more.
