Just a simple data comparison exercise among the three mules from this year. Listing steel elements to kick off this thread. I'll add in other information as it's available.

Main thing that stands out to me is the MT32 steels. It's definitely my favorite of this year's three. I was surprised how well it compares to the others with much less molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium.

I suspect this is due to the high quality craftsmanship of the san mai process. I'd like to understand the alloy mixes a bit deeper to test performance aspects further. Just getting the ball rolling in case others have insight, opinions or data to add.
