[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2508688, member: 104002"] There are a lot of excellent blade steels around these days even the stainless rivals the newer high carbon steels. The sharpness and edge holding is my main focus so like 52100 carbon, RWL34 stainless but am trialing some AEBL now that seems difficult to work. Have made probably 50 or 60 so far, mostly drop point skinners for cutting. I don't really have a need for thicker blades that don't cut well but can be used for chopping down trees or making kindling for the fire. Select a knife for the animals you are skinning or dressing out. There's not really an all round knife that will do everything, bit like an all round rifle that is good for field mice and elephants.
