D2 was chosen because there is a local blade smith who works exclusively with D2 and will do the heat-treatment for a good price and I don't have to pay shipping, plus its for my mother, who does not wipe her kitchen knifes off as often as she should.
I don't want it to be stainless, because I want her to get in the habit of not leaving knives wet, but I also wanted it to be a little more stain resistant. Also, I hear it holds an edge well, because she never sharpens her knives. I usually do it once a year when I can no longer cut warm butter with them.
I will see how it goes, if I don't like the results I wont use it after the 36" piece I got is gone.

As for Parks 50, I have been agonizing over the $150 for 5 gallons of it shipped here, or investing that $150 into a better belt grinder than my HF 1x30 PoC. Open for advice on which to get first.
