The Cara Cara blade steel is 8Cr13MoV which Spyderco says is similar to AUS8.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is available! Price is $250 ea (shipped within CONUS).

Swiss army one hand trekker, 26.99 on amazon.com. All around great little knife for a day or weekend about in the woods, or anything else. I've seen some pretty decent praises for this knife here.

Is AUS8 a bit harder then 440?
Man, it seems getting a knife for under $50 means either 440 steel or AUS8. I have seen the Speed Bump for between $50-$55, but I am on a strict $50 with this Visa gift card I have that can be used to order things online like a credit card. Sadly, it has to be under $50 shipped. I think I will go with either the SOG Flash II or the Dozier Thorn, I just found a place to get the SOG Flash II for under $40 and the Thorn looks promising, but I will do some more looking. Froogle is awesome, found a Sharpmaker for under $50 shipped, brand new, not from eBay, and have found better prices then I though possible, better then eBay in most cases are possible from real websites.
