Austin says that the carbon content is a minimum, whereas the IFI quotes state that it is a maximum.This relatively simple knife has a deep history behind it. Austin describes the 1968 standard and how it is quoted elsewhere on IFI by ThomasPowers inter alia.

(Please note that there is a discrepancy between how Mr. New spikes probably conform to the 2005 standard. Overall, the 2005 version of the standards eliminated a lot of potential variability that was allowed under the 1968 version and resulted in more consistent performance.įor our purposes, therefore, any spike marked 'HC' (for 'high carbon') should probably be assumed to conform to the 1968 standard, while an unmarked spike might conform to either the 1968 'soft steel' standard or the 2005 universal standard. The minimum yield strength was effectively increased and an on-request impact property test was added. The optional minimum Copper content for corrosion resistance was made mandatory. Limits were applied to Manganese, Silicon, Phosphorus, and Sulfur, while Vanadium was added to the chemistry. The 2005 specification applied upper limits on the Carbon and more control over other elements in the steel.
