I contacted Aji to ask about his motivation for using 17-4. His response was "17-4 SS, when it's heat treated (H900) from the annealed state simply takes on a better polish, a mirror finish to the next level and I like shiny stuff. Plain and simple."
He also said he had not yet decided on a price but likely would be in the low-mid $200 range.
