SF100 stainless steel from Sheffield? (updated)

[Sid Post]

I am looking at a knife in the UK and ST100 (probably SF100 actually) is a stainless steel choice. I know nothing of this steel and Google searches turn up bearings and various tooling.

What is the steel like? What is it comparable to? Good choice? Bad choice? Other?

TIA,
Sid

A link would help. Is it definitely ST100, not SF100?

SF100 is quite closely comparable to AEBL and 13C26 IIRC.

I think what I saw may be a typo. SF100 seems like the right steel.

It was an email I think with a typo upon further searches this morning.
