Next question in my learning curve.

what would be a preferred blade material for a custom slip joint intended to see every day use. some hard use as well.

I think what i'm asking is what gives the best compromise between durability and edge retention?

I personally like CPM154. To me it has great lateral strength and is not that hard to sharpen when you do dull it. I run mine across a green DMT once a month to keep an edge on it.
