blade steel for a serrated blade?

[MR.GRIMM]

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for steel choice for a serrated blade?

Are you making or buying? H1 is said to be good serrated, so Spyderco's salt series would be a good choice.

buying.

there also some serrated edge spyderco in ZDP-189. That would be excellent steel.

CPM-S30V Mine holds a great edge for a really long time.

I recommend Rostfrei.

But for real, s30v is a great steel for serrations.And as long as the serrations are done correctly, it will cut for a very long time. I find vg-10 too soft for serrations to be effective.

Also, H1.

I agree ZDP-189 works well. I have one (Spyderco Endura) and love it. Some claim it chips easily, but I have had no problems over the last 5 months or so I have EDC'd it.

Any good blade steel works well when serrated.
