It was announced at the Shot Show this year. It comes with the green molle sheath.

Thank you North Man. Your two last posts were pretty enlightening.
Molybdenum also promotes the formation of fine grains, which has a positive effect on the cutting characteristics.

You are welcome Going to be interesting if we find it, if 420HC or another. 420HC i like alot.I got this table since i have been into this equivalents before, equivalents is many times misplaced on the internet. This on the more known Victorinox steels.This is interesting(Image removed from quote.)
You are welcome, if they got the same hardness there is a difference told here. This alone is worth the try Then again we may never know if it is so for sure This is the most close as i can get without trying the knife. Have in mind also that the table above with equivalents is just around there, Victorinox do not use any 440 group, but it is interesting to see specs. Again on Victorinox look for the Group and DIN on these know Vic Steels:1.4110 x55CrMo14 blades 56 HRC1.4031 x39Cr13 parts 52-56 HRC1.4021 x20Cr13 springs 49 HRCfor other Vic knives 1.4034 x46Cr13 blades (HRC is probarbly 55-56)1.4419 x38CrMo14PS if they do use 440 let me know
