Can someone rank these steels in order of best to worst?

[mrcknife]

I'm trying to decide between three different knives; the Buck Kalinga Pro with a 420hc blade(fixed blade), the CRKT Ultima (half serrated) with a 1.4116 steel blade and the Foster Fears Surival Knife with a 440c blade.

With respect to what criteria....?

Those three are generally pretty similar to each other with respect to most parameters.

Sure there are differences, and I suspect there will be many posts in this thread, but I'd go with one of those 3 knives based on what you're going to be using it for and in what type of environment.

For general usage, (ballparking it...greatly), I'd go with: (best to worst)

1) 440C (w/great heat treat)
2) 420 HC (Buck's)
3) 4116

1)vg-10, s30v, 154cm (way better)
2)440c second place
3)420hc third place, only if it's a buck, if not then 1.4116 would be equal.

The Buck Kalinga Pro now has s30v steel blade,but for survival I'd go with 440c.
