Name YOUR Steels!

i have:
154CM
VG-10
AUS-8
1095
420HC
340T
12C27(victorinox?)
my favorite all around steel is 154CM
 
Pfoei...I really have to think about the steels I own since I'm not much of a steelsnob.

In no particulair order:
O1
O2
1.2519
Niolox (sb1)
8Cr13Mov
S30v
D2
(probably) 5160 or something like it (nepalese khukuri)
440a
Alabama damascus

I like them all. Toughest use I've put my knives through is cut steak. A ceramic plate will dull even zdp steel in a flash...(tried a caly3 for a while)

In my daily use steel type doesn't really seem to matter.
 
m2
1080
1095
154cm
s30v
14c28n
9cr14mov

and a few mystery steels.

Vic's aren't 12c27. They are 1.4116 DIN stainless which is the same thing as the Krupp stainless that Cold Steel is pushing on their cheaper knives.

Ive used the M2 Ritter quite a bit and love the M2. I havn't used the 420HC knives enough to really have much of an opinion
on it.
