DevinT your amazing man! That’s exactly what I️ was looking for. Idk i always associated 52100 and aebl and elmax astonishing performance with them being what i felt was a finer grain. Obviously compared to my little use of 1095 and o1 at the time.
After tinkering and hobby making a few Knives I’ve come to appreciate more steels but always had the finer grain albeit carbide or actual grain of the steel from grain refinement stuck in the back of my head.
I’m pretty much looking for a steel tougher than cpm m4 with better wear resistance than say a2. 4v? Vanadis 4e? Cts-pd1?
Thank you for all the posts so far guys. Wish explaining via text was easier.
