Thoughts on CPM-154 in a folder?

[marthinus]

Thanks for those, Marthinus. So do you think RWL-34 to be preferable to M-390? Or would it depend on the grind and application? I've got a choice to make between the two.

Both are fine steels, my only gripe with M390 is it sometimes pushes up the cost slightly because it is higher abrasive resistance and tends to be harder to work with for the maker (therefore more time spent working on it, time=money). I cant comment on anything else, have not used it but hopefully will in the near future. Think someone like Ankerson or others will have the experience to comment.
