Thanks Larry.

M390 is what I'm leaning toward now.

I just have not ever seen, used, or talked to anybody that has actually used it. Thus, my solicitory post.

For what I'm gonna use it for, M390 would seem the best choice.
(Super Stainless, Superb edge retention, not brittle).

A lot has been written about the comparison of different steels but no two people are going to use their knives "zackley" the same.

I wish Bob Loveless was still around. I'd love to get his take on it.

Thanks again!
