There is a steel version, so which one is this?

Thanks, at that price it should have been, but it isn't stated. Thanks again!

"Cold Steel" is the maker. Kobun is the name for this particular line of tanto knife. They have others.

I just received mine (serial #8883) and it does have the new steel lock bar insert. This is now the standard build for the knife according to the Zero Tolerance catalog. Lockup is at a perfect 50% with flawless centering and zero blade play.

Steel. It's perfect for regular AV and pro gear. Warning: It is NOT intended for computers - the 22" depth is too little for many rack mounted servers.

Laura, I'm not sure whether or not it's made of steel, but, having used this for a few months now, I can definitively say that it is a SOLID product and way better than any of the cheaper ones I've had in the past. It's pricey, but well worth it.

Hi Pants, the blade states 'TW117 Stainless Steel Handcrafted in China' nowhere does it mention Sheffield. However, this does not detract from the pure awesomeness of this little penknife. It's made of steel and it appears to be quite a good quality, sturdy little thing. (Maybe i'm biased though as i'm like a magpie when it comes to shiny, oily objects.)

I believe it is 8cr13mov. That is a Chinese steel but still get the job done!

This is steel. Quite heavy actually. I have used this extensively and highly recommend it. It rolls easily.

Some type of steel. I have 3 and all of them are good quality. I have not had any problems. Perhaps the manufacturer website will provide the specific answers to the type of metal used.

I don't know what type of steel is in the Classic Number 1, but it is a carbon steel, not stainless. It has a Scandi grind without a micro bevel. It is a very fine knife that will do what you want it to do.

This is the American made one. The blade isn't stamped with the steel type so we'll have to assume it's crovan.

it's advertised as steel. it's kinda on the heavy/solid side so i'm gonna say steel as well.

It is a slightly enhanced 440C steel which has Vanadium and slightly more Chromium. More importantly, it is available in Taiwan where the knife was made. It said to out perform 154CM and 440C steels. I really like this knife. It is light and very sturdy with an impressively machined Titanium handle and the blade can be made very sharp with a long lasting edge.

Steel, but I wouldn't advise buying this. With hardly a few weeks of use the blade became dull.

I answer with a question: what difference does it make (oh, I sound like Hillary Clinton) what kind of steel it is? I have no idea but now I am going to find out, thanks.

I know that this is the official pebble steel... The other one might be a reseller, not sure though. But this pebble is exactly what I expected.

steel. this is a quality tool. It is identical to the Oregon one that costs twice as much.
