That's what I was saying, the 1095 steel used in KaBars is no where near as good as the S30V steel used in Strider and other high end knives. S30V is a modern alloy stainless, where 1095 is just simple steel that has been around for over a hundred years.
Add to that the incredible job Paul Bos does of heat treating their knives (they now use the same process in house on some of their knives) and you get a superior product to a mass produced blade using half century old techniques.
On the down side you pay a lot more for it as well...
