Just posted some "modifications" I've done .. pic album = "MODIFICATIONS" ..

.. been thinking of starting a grp around that theme .. just about everyone has modified or dreamt of an "improvement" they'd like to add .. think it would generate enough interest to generate ongoing discussion & interest ???

Yeah, I found Daniel's tutorial informative .. the gentleman wasn't stingy w/ the details !!

At 19:48 on March 23, 2010, In MemoriamD ale said…: Terry .. the 400 series stainless steel is generally .. well .. not the best ..

If it's more expensive steel .. ATS34 /154CM , D2 .. they make that evident .. sales ..

When the steel type is generically called out as "400 series" or "440 stainless" .. it's generally indicative of 420, 440A, or 440B .... none of which are real great ~ imo .... max hardness typically mid 50's Rc .. lowers raw matl / production cost's though ..

Oh .. & the bead blasted is just the finish .. both are the same steel

At 17:49 on March 23, 2010, In MemoriamD ale said…: The quest of the steel & quality is why I haven't purchased one of these ... either the SCALB/Y or the SCTAC ..

Today is the first time I've seen any vendor list the steel type as 440C ~ SCALB/Y only !!!

I'm still quite hesitant on the SCTAC .. may bite on the SCALY though ..

.. SCALY + jigged bone / stag / micarta ivory scales + recessed contoured release button ..

Yeah .. I just may bite on that SCALY !!!

At 17:38 on March 23, 2010, In MemoriamD ale said…: Terry .. here's a Schrade/Taylor that I was looking @ for myself .. I'm pretty sure this is NOT w/ 440C steel ..

The Shrade SC-1. The blade is of the spear shape, sharp and effective. We couldn't find what type of steel is used, but it feels as a good one. The firing is fast and smooth. The handle is made of steel with G-10 scales. The clip is non removable.
