This conversation makes me realize that what a well known knife makers said about 52100 making a better forged knife that a stock removal knife might have a kernel of truth to it, even though I originally doubted it. The forging temperatures get the carbon from the carbides into solution where a stock removal maker may not get the temperature at heat treating high enough to do the same thing.
