The above suggestions are good ones but I have a little different mindset on steel selection. IMO maybe think about what job the knife you are making will do and what qualities you want the knife to posses. Then choose a steel and HT to bring those qualities out in the steel. There is no reason to spend big money on XXXXX steel if it will not have the qualities you seek.
Most of us started on a 1x30 and it will work just slower but keep in mind you are not in a hurry.
