it's a crucible steel with the following:  Carbon 1.05% Chromium 14.00% Manganese 0.50% Molybdenum 4.00% Silicon 0.30%

it's some tough steel.  i'm also liking s30v steel more and more.

That's a sweet looking blade.  Very nicely done! The bevel looks perfect, like it was machined into the blade!

Very nice set.  Did that steel reek havoc on the files?

thanx fellows!  i used a dremel and a very steady hand to cut the filework.  the 154 is rough on cutting disks.
