Dr. Larrin Thomas, author of "Knife Engineering: Steel, Heat Treatment, and Geometry" has uploaded a new video. His website is www.knifesteelnerds.com

He always has good info.

If you want another good reference (although not by Larrin), search either the Android or iOS App Store for "Knife Steel Composition Chart".
