Competition/Camp Chopper Steel

Thanks, I just saw another thread comparing two steels and on a chart for toughness and aeb-l was high up. I always figured it wasn’t that tough since it seems to be a pupular kitchen knife.

Problem with aeb-l is that it’s impossible to find thicker than 0.130”.

Remember that Bill Moran's lightweight Colorado Camp Knife was made from 1/8 stock. Wonder what happened to the possibility of .190 AEB-L? Same ne mill in Austria that rolls the 15N20 also does the AEB-L from what I was told.

Aldo has .195 stock. I haven't seen him sold out on it. I would like some .250 or thicker but .185 isn't bad

Wow! Didn’t know that.

How tough is it to get it shipped up north.

Alpha knife supply also lists AEB-L up to 0.195

I think AKS sells it in 0,20” thick: https://www.alphaknifesupply.com/shop/aeb-l-stainless-steel
