Here's mine:
1095
A2
D2
3v
CPM Cru Wear
Damascus from 1080, 5160 &15n20 by Chuck Hawes
Elmax
CPM 20cv
m390
ZDP189
Hap40
Vtoku2
CPM s35vn,
CPM s90v
CPM s110v
CPM s30v
Case's "tru-sharp"
Case's "chrome vanadium"

lc200n
CTS XHP
h1
k390
440c
154cm
CTS BD1
420hc
1.4110

Unless I'm forgetting a couple, that's 29 different steels. The majority are in s30v, followed by 1095, s110v, vg10, and xhp, respectively.
Edited to add Used to Own becuase y'all are adding that
Used to Own:
8cr13mov, Aus8, M4, Hubertus' rostfrei

Re: What knife steels do you own?
I haven't tried:
SRS 15
XRY7 ( or whatever it's called)
The Vancron steels
15V
I can't think of any more offhand.

Can you find it and can it cut? :eek:
Re: What knife steels do you own?
I don't make any attempt to collect steels...but I have ended up with a decent variety by buying knives for different purposes.
Here's what's in my collection:
420C, 440C, VG10, S30V, CTS204P, 1095, A2, S7, H1, CTSBD1, VG1, AUS8, D2, 8CR13MoV, 12C27, O1, 1.4110, 4116....I think that covers it.
Some steels I used to own.....S90V, BG42, S60V, INFI, 1085, 52100, 154CM, CPM154, ATS55, 14C28N, SK5, Carbon V, CPMD2, M4, AUS6, AUS10, Ti, ZDP189 and a couple others I'm forgetting.

Re: What knife steels do you own?
More than I need, but still open to more.
Sad that the Mule Team program is in limbo for now. On the other hand, it's nice that a lot of new steels are available in popular folders.

Re: What knife steels do you own?
Oh, well, to me it's the best, but I am not self-centered enough to think that it's the best for everyone, everywhere, and every need... :D
plus, in PE it's certainly lacking compared to many others :o

Water Bug, that is a very neat list, thank you! Regarding BG-42, how do you like its performance for everyday type cutting chores, in comparison to some of the other steel?
