Hi guys,

What do you think about D6 steel ?

Why isn't it used by any knifemaker ?

I have heard of knifemakers using the higher D series steels, but it isn't common. You need to consider availability in suitable stock. Note that D5 and up will be very brittle at around 65 HRC, and D2 isn't even that tough to begin with.
