ATS-34 vs. RWL-34 vs. CPA-N

[Thor I am]

Anyone here know the differences between these stainless steels and the pros and cons of them when compared to each other?

Thanks,
Thor

Thor,

You might want to try this question in the maker's forum.

I do not know anything about CPA-N steel other than that Dietmar Kressler uses it. ATS-34 and RWL-34 have pretty much the same chemical makeup. RWL-34 is made by the powder metallurgy method and may be a little better than ATS-34 because of a finer grain structure.

RWL gives a slightly better polish I am told.

Just the letters CPA gives me the chills.

Anthony,

Why do the letters "CPA" give you the chills?

Thanks,

It was a joke, in that CPA stands for Certified Public Accountant-the friendly people who do your audits.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. Yes, I am officially dense now .

Maybe I didn't get it because I actually really like my CPA. I have known him for many years and he is a friend of the family.
