What steel will you make SRK from

In last year I hear so much complain about the AUS8A made SRK. Acturelly the AUS8A steel is pretty good steel,but it is not so tough as Carbon V, so it is widely complained in my town.  People can usually endure some rust on the blade ,but can hardly embrace the blade becoming soft. The beloved Carbon V has gone, can you find a proper steel to take the place? 1095 Cro-Van,I think it would be a good choice.

Welcome to the forums.   and you are in luck.  Word is that the SRK will be produced in  San Mai III.  Along with several other upgrades.

Welcome Spruce. I don't habve a SRK yet but I have no complaints from my Recon Tanto in AUS8A. I'd love for it to be Carbon V but it has performed great for me as is. I can't wait to pick up a Recon Tanto and SRk in San Mai II though as long as the price is right.

its fine in aus8a but I would like to see in in 1055

Dear ColdSteel, I have a SRK and a Trailmaster,they are very good knives. I`m going to make my special SRK, because I want to make a perfect SRK for myself, would you e-mail a drawing to me, thank you !  My e-mail address is akulapro@sina.com.

I don't think aus8a is at a disadvantage compared to carbon V. I would like to check out a large carbon V knife, I have a small country classic. I think with the sub zero quench stainless steels are more than sufficient for survival. I am also interested in Sk-5.

You have the knife, why do you need a drawing?

I guess he wants a measured drawing and doesn't know that you can not

"expect this forum to be method of contact for any customer service related issues."

But

" If (he) would like to contact Cold Steel regarding any customer related issues

He could

"please click here."

I doubt that they will send any drawings but their was once a measured drawing of a CS Tanto posted in these forums that someone pulled off a Patent filed by CS.  So maybe it could be found elsewhere?

I like the idea of an SRK made in Sanmai and I would like also in 1095 to keep the cost down. There are a plenty of  stainless steel with good quality and low cost like 440C.What about of an SRK in D2?  

Also S7 and L6 are good carbon steel for SRKs but today top of the notch is M4. The old beloved Carbon V was very similar to 52-100!
