1085???
So, it seems that I've been under a rock for a while.
I was discussing knives with a co-worker a few minutes ago and he mention Blackhawk knives. Always wanting to be well informed, I looked them up to learn that they use a steel called 1085C and call it a tool steel. It was hard to find references to it, and I couldn't find a source anywhere. What is it? Is it relatively new? Is it really a tool steel? Does it have advantages to the more readily available 1080, 1084, and 1095? I seek an education. __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions."
