I was thinking about the BM AFCK, and the fact they use D2 steel in the 806 (current model), but used M2 steel in a previous one.
I took a look at crucible steel's site, and according to them, M2 and D2 steels are about the same toughness, but M2 holds an edge about 3x better.
The only other difference I could see is that D2 has a much higher amount of chromium in it.
So ... why would they change from M2 to D2 in the AFCK? Just for the chromium and more "stainless"ness?
And btw, the stats on S90V are... impressive.
