Anyway, they have a great steel called CTS-XHP that I have really taken a liking too! Easy to work with, for the maker and the user, cuts great, resists stains.
As Mr Bill can attest too it's pretty tough, he tried to break my XHP test knife at Blade show, but ended up just breaking a table.
Now they are trying to refine other steels out there, thus the Powdered 42 that Ken is so jealous of.
I can post more info on the Carpenter steels if there is interest, or I can start a new thread about it, if that is better.
Let me know what you guys would like.
Thanks  |
Les,
Please keep us posted on the Carpenter Steels.
It might be best if you started a new thread for the Carpenter steels as this could get complicated all on it's own.
The BG-42 steel was what Bob Loveless used for his tough use knives. I would love to see the working results of that alloy in a particle metal steel.
oh yeah, they don't make tables like they used to.
