I have been asked to make a fillet knife. I use O1 and 1084. will any of those work for a fillet knife? Any suggestions is appreciated.

I would have thought definitely stainless because fish tend to be wet. You will want something with high wear resistance I reckon. Anything to make it stay sharp at a lower hardness. You want it around 55-56Rc I think so it is springy. I thing CPM S-30V fits that pretty well but I wouldn't know really.
I have made fillet knives in ats34 and cpms30v.
The s30v outperformed the ats34 by quite a margin. The s30v made the best fillet blade (hrc 58) I have ever used. That was before s35vn came out which is what I would use now. I also would not hesitate to use Elmax at 60 or 61 HRC
Just out of curiousity, did you cryo your s30v?
