Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades A2 my new favorite steel for making slipjoints

First time with some A2 on this lambfoot in stabilized burl. It does feel "snappier" than the other steels I've tried so far. 8670, AEB-L CPM-154, so not a lot of data points. But I've heard several makers say something similar about A2.

Still working through issues with gaps in spine and hidding pins.
