Thanked: 79Possibly. I'm not a metallurgist, but I've read various places saying that Bill Moran made the first knife out of it (here in U.S.) for some time in 1970 or so and that it created a real commotion.
I've also read places that said the Germans were making blades of it in WWII but who knows, Solingen got bombed flat as did quite a few other places.
It'd be really interesting however to have a blade made of each that was expendible to the point one could do all sorts of testing on it, then reproduce blades with the information gained.
There probably already is such a site but I'm lazy and about to go to work today....
