I like 1095; coated or not. It's not difficult to routinely oil your blade to help protect it from corrosion, and it isn't horribly difficult to remove. I'll cough up some money for a good steel, but I really just want something that isn't going to cost me a fortune.

The only plus I really see from s35vn is that he can get it from the same company as 3v.

Yes, availability is one factor. The other factor I am looking at is working with materials I know can be heat treated very well by my heat treater. My main goal is to have tools that really perform, can take a lifetime of use and be a great value for the dollar spent. I can promise everyone now that whatever materials I use, I won't price them out of reach.

In that case, 35vn by all means as your stainless option.

Ok, I'm going to shut down this thread to revise the poll to include more options. Stand by for Knife steel poll V 2.0
