If you could pick....

S30V. It's the newest thing. A blade steel designed to be used as a blade steel with input from Mr. Reeve himself. To be sure, BG-42 and ATS-34 are great steels that would meet my needs with no trouble (and truth be known I really like BG-42), but I tend to go with the latest generation. Kind of like buying the newest type computer.:thumbup:
 
D2 steel, new wonder steels come and go but D2 is nearly 100 years old and still being used in industry and for knives. I expect 30V will disappear soon when the next wonder steel pops up.
 
S30V, BG-42 and ATS34 in that order, BUT all would make a great folder depending on the other materials used. A sebenza in aay of these steels would be a winner, but I'd take S30V first (and did).
 
since some other are tryin to hijack the thread, not really a problem though, i'll do it to my self

how about large ats-34 vs small s 30v
 
I haven't found there to be that much difference between the BG and S30V from Reeve's shop. Probably would vote for BG.

Man, a D2 'Benza would be the balls, though. That is something I would not mind having.
 
From a practical point of view it's S30V. If you can get it; the Devin Thomas Ladder or Raindrop Damascus is stunning looking but also keeps a great edge.
 
My 154CM blades all seem to perfrom well. I wouldn't mind a Sebenza with a 154CM blade.

Devin Thomas damascus is very nice.
