So I'm in Ray

I think I'm gonna make the blade out of AEB-L as it is capable of high hardness, but still flexible. I do not know if the high Vanadium steels lend themselves to the flexibility that you've spec'ed out Ray. Dave of "dtec" fame said he will HT for me per my instructions so l may try the S30V. I don't have any left except one .070 thick blade and it does seem to be quite flexible at 59-60 hardness. I think I'll give it a few tests.
