Whats up guys, figured I would wake up sharp talk with a conversation on some newer steels. When I first got into knives high end stuff was ATS-34 and BG-42 was another one. Strider was the first higher end modern company I liked, I started with a few fixed blades in ATS-34 then the folders eventually came in S30V like the Sebenza. It seems like forever until S30V went away and now we have many interesting high hardness super steels. Ill admit I rarely hard use or put into continuous use a folding knife where I couldnt get away with a fairly basic steel. Where as I do use fixed blades to the point where they need a sharpening at the end of the day. Granted this isnt required work but mere fun and practice of different outdoor activities in the woods.
