Thanks okbohn. Does anyone have experience with 52-100 I've never used it.

52100 is an excellent high-carbon steel, especially with Mike Stewart's superb Heat Treatment. You won't feel a difference compared to their A2 Tool steel.

52-100 takes a wicked edge. I agree that most won't notice much difference from A2.

It is not as stain resistant as A2.
