Tru-sharp steel - according to Case themselves and H.G. Russel is 420 HC - the same steel that BUCK uses often.
There have been many negative comments about 420 - however - due to the hardening process of both Buck (BOS) and CASE - they seem to make very good knives for every day use. In fact, Les Stroud carries a Buck 119 - made of the same steel. Not bad for Survivorman!
Here is the break down of what is in a 420 HC knife blade:
Carbon - .40 - .50
Manganese - .8
Chromium - 12.00 - 14.00
Vanadium - .18
Molybdenum - .6
The Rockwell hardness is: 57-59
