Kit,
Thanks for the help, info and warnings.

I've heard that the Liquidmetal is prone to micro fracture and then rapid fracture propagation and that is reason enough for me to stay well away from using it.

x SF med,
Your quite correct on all counts. I'm just starting to make some test blades out of the CPM S-35VN and am interested in seeing how it works. I think it's going to be good stuff.
