Okay now I've read it. Very good resource, but the four year old information already seems dated in certain places. To Wit:
Refers to Gin-1/G2 as a steel often used in Spyderco Knives.
Refers to ATS-34 as the ultimate stainless cutlery steel.
Refers to BG-42 as a hot new steel to keep an eye on.
Says Chris Reeve uses BG-42 in Sebenzas.
There is no reference whatsoever to CPM S30V.
Do my esteemed colleagues agree?
Regardless, I'm saving it to my favorites. Thanks again Bryan!
