Wanted to get opinions on Bose knife users/collectors on favorite blade steels for using blades? ATS-34....D-2.....440V.....A-2...not sure if Bose has used other steels than these.

I have D-2 in my pocket, and I love A2...

A few knives have been made in S30-V and I believe a few have also been made in BG-42. Tony could shed more light on this matter.

I have used a number of steels in the past some just to try them out. I'm carrying a BackPocket made with CPM M4 and a trapper made with CPM 440V. Different steels are fun to play with but if I'm going to carry and use it I want CPM 440V with a ground finish. This m4 is not bad either but it will rust. That doesn't bother me but it would a lot of people.

Tony...What is your opinion on D-2 as a daily using blade? Mark.

Probably the best allaround steel but doesn"t stay sharp as long as 440V

Ive got D2 and Denim in My Pocket right now
Its a combo hard to beat for every day..

D2 all the way...any day!

A-2 (which I think is pretty rare on a Bose), then 440V, then D-2, followed by ATS-34

440-V and D-2 for me. I am looking forward to getting one in CPM M-4. I have a kitchen knife made on A-2 and it really gets the job done too.
