Jimmy, thanks for the info! I actually just got a manganese wester bro's... in the mail AND a tennis... also in the mail... both for incredible prices on the bay.

Yeah Martin, I get that, but to say it is the SAME steel?? I'm sure that there were multiple companies that added manganese to their steel to harden it, is this to say that they have the exact alloy...

There is a vendor on ebay saying that wester bros is = to bartmann or it is the same company as bartmann??

The vendor does say that it's the "same steel bartmann uses".
