Im not a fan of D2. I know people that D2 thats amazing. In my experience its brittle. My most important thing for a knife is toughness. I don't care about corrosion. That's only for people that don't use their stuff. Used tools don't rust. Ask any mechanic how many rusty wrenchs he has? I want easy to sharpen and reasonable edge retention. I love 14c28n. Aus10, xhp that's what i own mostly with a few 8cr, vg10 and Aus8 on the side. The top 3 are my favorites. Ive had the super steels m390, s35vn not impressed Im still waiting to find out about magna cut. Can't justify the price just to try the latest gimmick.
I feel very similar to what you are saying. A knife that can withstand is way more important to me. I’ll start looking into knives with some of the steels you mentioned and I’ll look at magna cut. That one is new to me. Thank you for the input I appreciate it.
