Knives that use AEB-L steel

[SteelSnob]

Can anyone tell me about any knives that have AEB-L steel blades? I'm looking for folders using it.

AEB-L is pretty much 13c26, or 14c28. So get Kershaw.

Kershaw's 13C26 is the same as AEB-L.

I liked Kershaw's 14c28 for the short time I had it. Easy to sharpen and held an edge pretty well after lots of cardboard cutting.

Is the od1 aeb-l? I recently got to try it on a Damascus blade and it amazed me. If the od uses it I will buy one for sure.

 

[samhain73]

Yep, it is.

 

[SteelSnob]

I'm going to order one right now. Thanks

Well I've narrowed it down to the od1 and the ener-g. I've heard the pocket clip is stiff on the od1 which I don't like and ID prefer less weight. How's the ener-g?

I love my OD-1. It's slim but still solid-feeling. I have no complaints regarding the clip tension either.

Sakai Takayuki uses AEB-L in their Grand Cheff line and Sakai Yusuke uses it in their Swedish Steel line. Kershaw does a better heat-treat, but doesn't use it in their kitchen knives and the two Sakai-based companies don't make pocketknives.
