Hi,

I agree D2 is good, I will be getting some sword blades forged, and Im not so sure about using D2 for longer blades. But for knives, I think D2 is great. I have a Kukri & Bowie forged from D2.

Im going with 1075 steel for the swords.

Do you have any experience with 1075?

Regards,
-P

Yes you can go for this 1075 for the longer blade but incase of D2 its little hard to forged for a longer size and in the case of D2 you need to have the vacuum furnace but in case of 1075 oil quenching will be sufficient.
