CPM 4V and K390. And as there are no rules ;) can we get them with a Triple B heat treat?
Please...

Personally I don't want to see any repeats. I'm more eager to look for new and surprising steels that we have not seen before. Only retro steel I'd be interested in is 80CRV2.

Here is a screen shot showing the results of the rope cutting test in the video for all that might be interested but not want to watch the vid. I think shown are the number of cuts on sisal rope before the knife does not cut paper cleanly anymore (the last, hard to see one is Maxamet with 1075 cuts)

Top three going by pocket-time (update April 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10), Chaparral SE (CTS XHP)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Endela SE (K390)
