Blade Metal Question

[delrio]

I am looking at a blade with 19C27. I have no knowledge of this steel.

Anybody know anything about it. Possible a comparison to some of the more common metals? BG-42, S30V, 440, 420HC, D2 etc....

Thanks in advance for any info and comments.

I do not have direct experience with it, though I have read a good bit about it and it certainly seems to have promise. Out of the steels you list, it'll have a lot more in common with BG-42, S30V and the other high-end stainlesses than it will with 440A and 420HC. This family of steels is just starting to really grab the market here, so time will tell if they turn out to be as high-performing as they are advertised as being, but the initial impressions seem to be very good.

Interesting... Thanks for the comments. I will have to do some reading on it.
I am going to try a lone wolf knife. They have two that I want. One of them has S30V and the other 19C27. T1 and the Presto. Two very different styles, however, both are quite unique...
