well the Paul Bos heat treat Buck uses on their 5160 steel also Dan Maragni's treatment at Ontario on their 5160..takes it to a much better level. most folks who have had these and used them..... see 5160 as a good steel.....even a preferred steel for a tough non stainless knife.
I'm definitely Not saying 5160 is bad...... I like it. Alot.
*just 15n20 a little better
I will Certainly continue to buy 5160.
I guess what I'm saying is don't be scared of 15n20 because it's not used as often (as a stand alone steel) it's great, too.
