Xt 80 ?

[e bergeron]

Forgive the ignorance but I recently acquired a Katz that is made from XT 80. I can't find any info on this steel. Any help would be appreciated.

It's been discussed before, check here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149745&highlight=XT80+AUS8

If analisys shows same composition it is fare to make conclusion that some special HT is involved, because I saw many reports that it is much better then 440C in the field.

Thanks, Vassili.

I’ve always felt that my Katz 302 made out of XT80 performs in the way that I would expect from a steel very similar to ATS34.
