What is the sharpest and strongest?

It seems to me that your two objective are mutually exclusive. My sharpest knives are made of very thin stock; while my stronghest knives (which I read as lateral strength) generally have an edge profile approaching that of an axe.

Of couse my best knives are somewhere in between - and too many to list here

Thanks a lot for imformations!

Armourman,
Timberline Specwar is ATS-34,is it so tough steel?It is hard (Rc=61+-),as I have thought it not so tough.

HJK,
Of course I know what a ambiguous words "Sharpest and strongest" is.And I know it so difficult to difine it.
Plase think it easy, only feeling.

L6STEEL,
Oh! I'm so suprised to see the pictures! What a---------GREAT! Wonderful! I can't breath!
26" blade! it is formal length of the Japanese sorwds! What a-------!

Cougar,
Yes,it is true that just soon sharpened, it is sharpest.I thought tough and sharp,not razor.
I feel this picture's knife like Kukuri.This looks great!

not2sharp,
Yes, it is true that two objective are mutually exclusive.
The sharpest is razor, the toughest is ax,cannot one blade, I know.
But,I feel my CS Trailmaster like both. It is tough enough to cut woods and sharp to shave!
And wanted to know if there is better or not.

Shaving and toughness are not incompatible. For instance the Uluchet is 1/4" (6.35mm) thick and has a steep primary grind and a convex edge that is quite obtuse and yet so well polished that it shaves well right out of the box. It's said the old-time lumberjacks used to hone up their axes on Saturday night and shave with them. Of course cutting through anything much thicker than a hair is a different matter; that's where a thin blade shines.

AK bowies have same structures (not shape). As AKBs are so limited in quantity so far, my recommendation will be AK khukuris from HI. I've had success in importing two of them, I can say OAL 15" doesn't bother customs. Only once I was lucked with 20incher, but seems literally indestructable. Chic, if you live around Tokyo, I think I can show you my AK khukuri.
