I think that he has stopped making them. The steel is L6. Average stuff, but good enough. O1 that John often uses is better. But it comes down to the heat treat really.

hi guys cheers for the comments . tahr the steel is N690 with my standard heat treat and cryo. works good.
nearly got the new workshop up and running just having a light problem got them wired up and they wont go to dark now to chase the problem
cheers john

Can't go wrong with N690. I've tried it on deer. A nice modern fine grained steel, and I think quite stainless? Holds a good edge and not difficult to sharpen. Probably tougher and more forgiving than Elmax which can chip a bit.
