Does anyone have info on the carbide size of CPM154CM in relation to other steels, such as 52100, 1095, VG10?

any help I would appreciate

Check the Crucible website .In the explaination of the CPM process there are photos of carbides showing differences between CPM and non-CPM steels.

There is a collection of micrographs on the bottom of this page: http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/809833/

Some of them are at different magnifications, but you can get somewhat of an idea. There aren't any micrographs of VG-10 that I know of, though it is likely somewhere between 19C27 and 154CM as far as size and volume of carbides.
