Knife Inventory -- What steels ride with you???

[deadmarsh]

I just did a complete PM on all my knives over the Holidays -- some needed more relief, better edge, handle repair, etc...

Along the way, I took note of all the steels I have. The list as follows:

8 - D2
6 - A2
2 - 154
2 - VG-10
2 - S30V
1 - unknown
0 - 400 series SS...


I thought for sure I had at least one 440C knife somewhere in those that never see the light that often...

Had one S30V, but didn't like the knife's design and blade shape, traded it off. Nothing to complain about the steel quality, but a five inch upswept point wasn't my bag.
