Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I thought that I would start a discussion about what kind of carbon steels you guys favor.

 

Tell us what type of steel you prefer and why.

 

Personally, I am a huge fan of Case's CV. I have heard that it's not as good of carbon steel as what Case formerly used, but I don't think that I'll ever find out either. I think the CV holds a really decent edge though.

 

My next second would be 1095. I only have one knife that was made with 1095. Its a more tactical-style fixed blade made by ESEE. Don't have enough use on it to know if it's better than CV.

Hello, I am new to the group.I have been making  for about 20 years and use primarly carbon steels. My favorites have been O-1 and 1095.I have played a bit with 1080,1084, 5160(love for big knives) and most recently 52100.I also use alot of carbon damascus, but in the end my go to steels still remain O-1 and 1095.Dave
Thanks Dave, That's a fine line up of carbon steels there. Let us know more about 52100 when you get a chance.
