Not to mention, straight 154cm with a tiny little bit of tungsten and vanadium added, I imagine would be a much better knife steel then straight 154cm, so I'm not complaining, but not sure if it...

That does make sense since they do run enough vanadium and tungsten alloys these days, that if a batch were be contaminationed by either, or both in small amounts, I could see it happening to an...

That's what I said, considering the alloy elements in different steel often vary in fractions of percentages, adding 0.4% of 2 different elements vs. Zero all but makes a completely different...

Well, crucible never returned my email, but the maker behind zKnives did, and he sourced Niagra Specialty Metals, (a cpm distributer) as his source, as they state a 0.4% "Max" of both elements in...

I stand corrected; I was actually using the "zKnives" app for quite a while now for easy and convenient quick reference, as it is a great tool for quick reference and comparison of steels, but seeing...

Fwiw also, ats34 and 154cm, while "almost" identical are actually slightly different recipes, as 154 has a small bit of vanadium and tungsten added to the matrix, 34 does not... Latrobe actually...

In my opinion, it was more to do with sheer vastness of the knife market vs. The significantly smaller and specialized SR market, cut throat profiteers, and the sheer vastness of selections in new...

That's why I ask, it has seemed while in the knife world, labeling what type of steel is used in a blade is the status quo of a quality brand, because us knife enthusiasts want to know, and the mark...

I imagine the sandvik steels would bode well, but what about a 440a or even a 420hc, while deemed appropriate for "cheap" Knives, basic decent entry level steels in the knife world, in a SR you...

I'm curious. What stainless steels typically make the best SR's since unlike Knives you want less carbides for a smooth shaver?
