I have some RWL-34 with serious impurities I'd like to give back to them right now. Good steels are made in many place, here, there, Japan, etc. As I mentioned the grain structure of AEB-L is impressive and I'd like to use some to get a better feel for how it performs. My primary concern about the carbon content is because I've tested some high alloy steels in that range that have demonstrated plastic deformation problems, even as high as Rc60. I'm also a little surprised it's not used by more of the knife companies. Wonder why.
