I think of steels like guns.
When the gun cannot keep up with the demands I place on it, I'll buy a higher performance gun for that task, but until my skills exceed the capabilities of my $500 pistol or $600 rifle, I see no need to spend over a grand.
I tend to think of steels the same way.
Show me a knife that if made from CPM154, 440C, 154 CM, or ATS-34 would fail, that would not fail if made from one of the new 'wonder steels'
