Once you start down the rabbit hole of knife steel…it becomes very hard to get back out. Inevitably you will find yourself at https://knifesteelnerds.com/ , and overwhelmed by the incredible amount of information generated by the maestro himself, Dr. Larrin Thomas. The video below along with the accompanying article are a phenomenal place to start.
However, I found the information presented to be very overwhelming. So I reorganized the data in a way that gives a bit more clarity (for me).

Ironically, this created more questions than conclusions. Such as: Why is CTS-XHP used so little? And is LC-200N really that tough?!?! I’m curious what your conclusions will be!
