Differernce is AEB-L is much less prone to froming pit rust due to low carbide volume, and due to more free Chromium in the actual steel instead of being in the carbide, AEB-L is more corrosion and stain resistance than both of D2 and ATS34.
For higher corrosion resistance, consider 14C28N LC200N Magnacut
While, I think AEB-L is a good stainless steel, I would love to know what sources show the more free chromium in it. Aside from larrin, who is a single source point. Are there any other sources.? As this is a function of HT, nothing is free. What provides better corrosion resistance usually loses in other areas. Same goes for wear resistance.
