[New and improved] Whats your Favorite Blade Steel (yes Again)

[Cobalt]

I still think people should be doing sprint runs in CTS-B75P just for the neo-retro appeal (...if that's a thing?), but as long as we're voting on all time appeal I have to go for the original. Just like Star Wars, you always stick to the first release.

I would take the CTS version, but I would rather have the original BG42

For the most part I really don't care what steel a knife has. So long as it's modern and somewhat high-end that's good enough. Heat treatment, edge geometry/thickness, and blade style play a much larger role in my opinion. I never let a knife get dull, and sharp 420HC cuts the same as sharp s110v.

Sure, just for a tenth of the time and then you have to sharpen it

So your saying what steel would I want if the zombie apocalypse hit and I could only have one blade? OK probably would go with CPM-154, stainless, tough as nailz, doesnt chip, and is easy to sharpen. In real world tho my favorite is probably CPM-M4 it doesnt chip holds a razor edge for long time. Problem is with M-4 it will rust and you need a set of diamond stones to sharpen it.

Re-beveled Cpm M4 on a 600 grit Japanese water stone no prob. It responded quite well. Then 1000, 6000. Only limited by my skills.
