DevinT Senior Member Joined Mar 10, 2011 Messages 1,164 Reaction score 770 May 24, 2012 #3 3-V was made for toughness and wear resistance. 8 ouy of 10 for both toughness and wear resistance. Fine grain and carbide size. Semi stainless. No pic, but the end of the handle has a mokume Corby bolt. Hoss
