[blackjackdan08]

To all knife lovers..shout out your most exotic blade steel u have on your knives.....

Case's Chrome Vanadium baby!

I guess INFI, but does that qualify as exotic?

If not then my OD-1 blade is made out of 14C28N, and I have no clue what that is.

Now my best steel is 420J its a Gerber.

My prayer to up grade to best steel is Buck a 420HC maybe a custom knife a ats34 or a greater steel exotic.

S110V and ZDP-189 I suppose.

I am not exactly sure what it is, but I am pretty sure my Roselli UHC Hunter is made out of some sort of seriously high-powered, exotic steel. It looks different than any other steel I have ever seen. I think it is pretty exotic.

I've got a lot of different exotics but my favorite is cpm154 or rwl34 at 61-62 hrc.

 

[termiteslayer]

I like many of them, not sure which is the most exotic.
Love the CPM M4.

CPM 154 is definitely my favorite that I have used. :thumbup:

Hi blackjackdan08 -

ZDP-189, CPM M4, and a D2/Boehler M390 composite blade.

best regards -

It's a great all arounder if not the best IMO. At that hardness(61-62) it will hold a great edge, is relatively tough and easy to put a great edge on. It's not by accident a lot of the top custom makers are using it.
