Does anyone know about the composition and performance of SK5 steel? Is it similar to 1095 in application? I've noticed it's being used on quite a few more knives these days, CKRT is using it in their Elishewitz FTWS knife. Cold Steel has glommed onto it as their replacement for Carbon V when they lost their 0170-6 and 50100-B.
Also, what's the practical difference between 1095 and CroMo 1095? I see the the CroMo has a few more elements in it, but what (if anything) is the difference on the maker's bench and forge?
