Hi,
Does anyone have any experiance with these steels. They look good on paper. Carpenter says 440-XH is like stainless D2, and CRB-7 looks to be a lot like BG-42. Just wondering if these steels are any good for knife making and if they are available in knife making sizes anywhere. Carpenter does not list either one on their retail site.
It looks like they are fairly easy to heat treat and thats why I am interested.
