This question comes up time-after-time and the correct answer is still the same. USE THE STEEL THAT YOU ARE BEST AT HEAT TREATING. As a beginning knife maker it is easy to get caught up in the current "Steel Du Jour" when it is much more important to do a proper H/T then it is to change steels.
My $.02.
