    Hi there,
    Started making bushcraft knives several years ago using high carbon steels my favourite being D2. Not long ago decided to try and make kitchen knives still used D2 and they actually perform in a good satisfying manner. Also obviously I feel the need to use stainless, used steels so far only niolox and CPM154. I find that niolox keeps the edge longer than CPM154 but also got more flex to it which on bigger length blades isn't that good a thing to have. What are your thoughts and what other steel can you guys recommend? Sorry I'm pretty sure that this an overly used and abused subject but please bear with me. TIA (also might not be the right place to ask questions might need some time to get to know the ropes )

    Hi Tiago!

    Other popular stainless options for kitchen knives are AEBL, SG2/R2 and XHP. Maybe RWL34.
