W2 has been one of most favorite knife steels for 50 years what amazes me is the abuse it will take even though it is not know for high toughness but rather for the really sharp edges it will take and decent edge holding for a simple carbon steel consisting of 1%C 0.3% Si and 0,3% Ma that is really good performance. Also I agree on G Flex been using it for many years there is it and then everything else. I also like the increased work time.
Which should I get A2 or w2 steel? which is better? also I'm willing to wait for a bowie in which ever the best steel you're about to make in the future.
Hands down A2 is better than W2. I would trust either one, but A2 is superior. It'll be a few weeks before I build some bowie knives. I am having a sale this weekend for Easter starting tomorrow. 15% off and free shipping, if temptation strikes you.
Hello Sir, thank you for your honest review. Looks like incredibly good blades. Do you heat treat yourself? The raptor looks awesome! Great to see you really working your knives. I own a couple of really strong knives but your ones look awesome Brother! 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

I do it all myself, I prefer it that way. No other hands touch these blades during the building process.

Hello, what has the best edge retention between your knife builds A2 or S90V? and which has the best corrosion resistance of these two please?
S90v has the best edge retention and corrosion resistance. A2 is tougher and easier to sharpen.
