The above chart is what I use - I like K390, S90V, S110V - I am not trying to use them as pegboard pegs to climb a cliff however. I really like edge retention as the number one priority. Sounds like you want more toughness.

I mean, not really. In the end i want a knife that holds it's edge...kind of full stop. I can grind a sharpness on it that can be amazing. I guess i think about it that it's task is to cut things as long as it can and retain sharpness as long as possible without being brittle and cracking/breaking, etc. I know there is a give-and-take...but in the end, I want an edge that lasts through a couple of deer and pigs.

K390 or M390 are my favorite workhorse, or 15V in spyderco heat treatment
VG-10 is good stuff / easy to make razor sharp with slight maintenance.
Magnacut imo isn’t cost efficient unless you are a salt water fisherman or diver or paranoid about patina.

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is 239 565-8988. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
