[I]C01 worker 3 screw clip, serrated edge, made in japan. - unmarked ones were probably GIN-1 but may have originally been AUS-8. hard to tell. Marked ones show G2, then GIN-1, then ATS-55 markings

C10 endura 1st generation with plastic clip, red, serrated edge, made in japan - no clue

C35 Q spyderco spyder and web blade, black frn handle, serrated edge - I believe Sal once said all the Qs used 440C

FB05 temperance trainer, red handle, made in japan, AUS6?? like the E4 trainer - probably, and probably not heat treated

LBK ladybug, i have 2, one grey, one blue, both combo edge, made in japan JBK jester lime green serrated edge, made in japan. All Jesters, and all Ladybugs prior to the Ladybug III were AUS-6 with the exception of the ATS-34 CF Ladybug.

kitchen knives, most were made with MBS26? or something like that right? Yes, but IIRC some of the "experimentals" used VG10

on the spyderfly's, they were made in japan, correct? Since importing balisongs is illegal, I imagine the blades blanks were imported from Japan and finished and assembled in Golden. Steels were VG-10 and 440C.

Deacon, IIRC the Q's are 440C, not 440V/S60V. Joe

Deacon, IIRC the Q's are 440C, not 440V/S60V. JoeJoe, you're absolutely correct, that was definitely either a brain fart, or a finger fumble on my part - think more likely the second - but either way, gonna fix it now.

Paul, I think you had another "finger fumble". The CF Ladybug's were ATS-55. ;) :p :D

thanks guys. i figured it would be answered quickly as usual. now i just need to figure out the red endura.

thanks guys. i figured it would be answered quickly as usual. now i just need to figure out the red endura.Tony, I'm assuming that, because you mentioned SE, it's a live blade and not a trainer and that, if you have one, there are no steel markings on it. If that's the case, then I'd assume AUS-8, like the 1st Gen. FRN Enduras and Delicas which have steel marking, but that's just a semi-educated guess.
