thanks for the replies guys! i figured L6 would be the first choice and it has been here and on "another" forum. i certainly think 5160 would be fine but seems like the L6 is the
choice

hey guys i've been doing some reading on sword steels for fun and for "functional or battle ready" blades the two steels that come up most often is 5160 and L6.
so for fun i was wondering what you folks thought. of course heat treat and geometry go with out saying, so please keep it some...
so here is a question,
is it unethical to make a copy of a knife to your specs for yourself, and your personal use? if there isnt any money being made........
