I was kind of leaning that direction. Had heard of tool steel before, but never the H1 designation.

This brittleness could be an advantage when customizing your benchmade... you won't need to score the blade with a file to snap the tip off... just whack it with a hammer.

now who would do such a thing ;-)
that's like using a flashlight as an impact weapon.
use the correct tool for the job, I always say (but
have occasionally used a hammer to "saw" two items in
half)

Tool steels are not inherently brittle. It all depends on the heat treatment. Im a professional knifemaker so I have some insight on this info. Just about any of the steels used in modern knives are some form of tool steel. The hardness of steel can be manipulated by the tempering process. A custom maker can even make some parts of the blade harder or softer to suit its intended use by manipulatng the tempering of the steel.
