[QUOTE="JamesP82, post: 2530878, member: 4538"] Thank you. I didn't click on the knives to get the blade steel. Seems he is using Carpenter's CTS-B75P, the powder metallurgy form of BG42. It is in the same class as S30V or S35VN. All of those steels require a double temper, and unless tempering to a range in the secondary tempering curve would require cold treatment to reduce retained austinite. I've seen quite a few makers do a triple temper to add another cold treatment when tempering in the primary tempering range. Zero Tolerance made the 0600 out of the same steel which retailed for about $340, but it wasn't near as pretty as Elishewitz's knives. If I was going for a knife in Elishewitz's price range, I'd go for a Brian Tighe custom. Tighe holds 22 Patents for different advancements he has pioneered within the knife making community. Don't get me wrong, Elishewitz makes excellent knives. I'm just not big on a lot of the custom makers that put BS up on their websites that isn't true. [/QUOTE]
