Perhaps a better question would be which steel folks prefer - IF they were the same price. For price, SR77 is terrific and definitely "Superior Performance to Price Ratio".
All three steels Busse uses are great, and the average person will NEVER really notice much difference. So, price is a major concern for many of us. I have knives made from all three steels and I'm happy with all of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
