What the most common resources used in finding steel strength and toughness. Asking because I am not sure were to look overall besides websites form knife makers or blog posts to steel manufacturers

You can also buy his book, Knife Engineering

You can look at datasheets provided by the manufacturer, Google "steel name + datasheet", just be aware that some manufacturers use different toughness testing, so the numbers are not the same, compare the toughness score to some other steels by that manufacturer, you'll get a rough estimate.

Benchmade has charts on their website and catalogs. I don’t know where they get their data, but it’s interesting to look at.
Here’s one of Larrin Thomas’s charts.
