Actually this is another gift thread!! I tried for many years to get Case to make a "Seahorse" (Actually a wharncliffe!) whittler in Carbon steel; since they added the pattern to the lineup!!!
Sometimes they said "sure" or "they couldn't right now" or "maybe"; but they never did anything until very recently!! I used to think it would make a great carving/whittling knife!! AusLoX AusLoX must have been listening!!!
I finally am allowed to drive again, after my eye was fixed (still healing, but I can see), so I went down to my PO in the USA and look what Austin sent me!!Carbon Seahorse 1.jpgCarbon Seahorse 2.jpgCarbon Seahorse 3.jpgCarbon Seahorse 4.jpg

I've always wanted one, and thanks to great thoughtfulness and generosity, I have one!! Many, Many thanks Austin!! And it was nice seeing you in person in Oregon!! :cool:

And that's not all for today! I've never owned a GEC Rotten Banana, and look what showed up in my storage next to that Case Seahorse!!!! An SFO from Northwest Knife Company!! Gary Norton sent me a thank you for letting him sell my SFOs over the years!!Rotten 1.jpgRotten 2.jpg
And no Banana stains on the stainless blade!! Haa Haa!!! Thanks so much, Gary!!
A good trip down to the USA!!!

Asking that Google character, CV, with its additional chromium and vanadium, makes the steel a bit stronger, more oxidation resistant and harder!
I suspect the difference is marginal!! Any other opinions???

If that will be of any help, here's an article from Knife Steel Compositions app (it doesn't allow to copy text).

I've always found CASE CV to offer a very quick and even patination compared to other comparable steels. Less blotching, more uniform. As to their 'new' carbon, I don't have any of it....yet ;)

Grand knives for the Forum Seer :cool:

Thanks, Will
