Steve Shimanek Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I ran across a guy at a swap meet today who was selling stock removal knives from what he said were Cold Steel kukri blanks; the tm was ground off and he had a couple blanks for sale. I liked the template so i picked one up; does anyone know what the likely alloy and heat treat for "CarbonV" is? Did Cold Steel really go out of business? Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wargo New2bs Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have a 12" kukri machete from cold steel. It is 1050 steel. Cold Steel is assuredly not out of business. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Thanks Mark, i did some research off site and found that the Carbon V knives had been made for Cold Steel by Camillus, who had some labor issues and quit domestic operations. Carbon V is supposed to be the same thing as 50100B steel, so hopefully i can research the heat treat based on that. It is a back burner project, lol. I like the template of the Cold Steel Kukri; down the road i will try some brush hog blades and adapt the shape and see how it comes out.
