Come on guys! ATS34, 154CM, CPM440v, VG10, BG42, Aus8A, 6A, 420J2, 12C27, SR101, CarbonV, , 5160, 52100, 1095, S90v, S30v, S60v, G2, QSblah, blah, blah... for the vast majority of us knife knuts, we maintain our knives and respect them...so, should blade steel really be the large deciding factor in whether or whether not we buy a knife? Personally I feel that if you go with a reputable company/maker, you like the look and feel of the knife, then you shouldn't even worry about the steel, because it's already damn good if it's being used... again, I'm talking about the "vast majority," not those rambo types whose survival depends on their blade. But, seriously, how much does the blade material factor in when you're buying a knife. I was finding myself getting sucked into what I call the alternate-cover trap... you know, you have a comic book, TV guide, magazine, etc. whose contents are the same, but they're offered with alternate covers, so you're left puzzled, wondering if you need to select a certain one, or worse yet, all of them... but they're really all the same animal. What do you think?
