There are so many different steels that fill a range of head spinning categories. I go back forth on the 440-C, ATS-34 and 154 CM discussions as these share similarities. Throw in BG42, RWL34 that broadens the choices as well. I've not used AEB-L before. That may be one to try and get some experience with.
The progression of steels keeps the treadmill going. One of those nothing was really wrong to begin with, yet makers and users wanted that little bit more. Some of that drive is interesting and that is progress. Those little changes to make them different and supposedly "better".
