Hello, newbie here and had a question regarding W2 vs 5160. This would be for a bushcraft/survival knife and I was looking for opinions on the 2 steels and which would be better. I have several knives in 1095 and D2 and a couple others but am looking to have one made for me.
Is one better than the other? Form my basic internet searching they seem to have similar properties but I can’t find a head to head so to speak.
This would be used for general bush craft and camping use and fire prep. Any hell would be greatly appreciated. Also it would be about a 5” blade and 3/16” width with a drop point design if that helps at all.
