What is the most wear-resistant steel for pocket knives
What is the most wear-resistant steel for pocket knives
It's a bit off-topic (usually not for kitchen knives), but we nowadays have a number of "super steels" like M390 or S110V or ZDP110V, whatever that exactly may be. What do you think is the most wear-resistant knife that is also resilient enough? I am waiting for a Para 3 Maxamet, but I don’t know whether that would be the best choice.

I would certainly put CPM10v right up there ...
Rex121 would also be a close contender.

I second CPM 10V, I think we both had some experience reprofiling that Spyderco K2 in 10V, and they heat treated that thing on the softer side for 10V
