Colt carbon steel

[glenn]

In a new SMKW mag they send me has line of pocket knives in carbon steel.

[Cutty]

Any time a knife is described as stainless steel or carbon steel, I immediately think that the reasons for not stating the actual type of steel is because it is the least desirable

I have that new catalogue as well and they do look interesting with the black coating

I would like to hear a review of those knives after some routine daily use.

Has anyone gave these a try to see how they take and hold a edge?

[coffeecup]

I swapped into one a while back. Speaking strictly from a user perspective, if all you do with a knife is open your mail, it would probably be OK. Not up to the standard of late '60s Imperials for edgeholding, but better than Rough rider or Case stainless.

Are they G-10 or Micarta scales? The over add says G-10 but the indivudial description has it Micarta.

[glenn]

It is G 10

What is the difference between the two materials ?

I was wondering if any one has had the opportunity to give any of these carbon blades a workout and the results...Thanks...Herb

G-10 is a grade of the brand name Micarta.
