Endura II w/ATS-55?

[Frankiecrabs]

Are the Endura II, or the Delica II, produced with ATS-55 blades? I have a Spyderco catalog, and the blade steel listed for these knives is AUS8. Are the newer models being made with the ATS-55, or was my information wrong?



Thanks,

My very recent catalog shows both as having AUS6 for blade steel. In most poeple's opinion, a step down from AUS8. AUS6 is very stainless, in my experience, sharpens quite easily, and takes a good edge. It is the holding of that edge where many feel that it comes up quite short.
