Yes, READ the whole thread you found this week. Seems that K294 is quite the steel. I will be sure to GRAB ONE when available to be sold. Thanks for this old thread herein as I was looking for some insight on K294 ALSO. I would BUY this over 90V right now...Bolster wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 10:42 pmAny interest in Bohler K294? 2.5% carbon, 9.5% vanadium. Over on BF, Ankerson says for edge retention, "K390 is close to K294" but that nothing he's aware of, beats K294 or 10V yet (that was posted in 2012). "K294 steel is the steel when one needs the absolute maximum in edge holding... K294 beat S110V in edge retention by 17%" (posted in 2011). Apparently Phil Wilson works with K294, producing it around 64 Rc.
Infact I would BUY a Paramilitary 2 or Manix 2 in K294 right now... But, of course, the MULE TEAM example is an excellent starting point...
