When BA was down

Just curious

When BA was down, did anyone kind of switch their habits or find other interests? I bought some really nice vintage folders, Queen, American Blade, Case and started a collection of CRKTs. I got one 9" Italian lockback
called a Viper with a stag handle, it was made in Maniago. The steel for the blade says W.Nr.1.4116. Has anyone heard of such? Great looking blade.

Take Care

Carbon and chrome are similar to 420.

The chart did not transpose well but the top line lists added elements [in order], below that it lists the types of steel. the first listing after the steel type is carbon, then chrome, manganese,silicon, molybdenum and vanadium, in that order. The one in question lists only carbon and chrome no added elements. The carbon and crome content is very similar to 420 stainless.

Dyslexia strikes 420 lists only carbon and chrome the 1.4116 has other added elements.

One thing I have not done is find a steel chart that makes sense, have wasted a lot of time combing Crucible's 'site to no avail... so foggetabout that one.

Have not gotten in on the Scottie Dog craze. Did renew my flubber and crazy ball supplies just in time for Haloween.

When BA went down I became catatonic. Other than some blurry disjointed conversations with Wally in the rec room, I don't remember a friggin thing.

Mr. Bigg,
