The steels I used were common steels found in the Woodturning groups. Hope you all enjoy reading it and look forward to the input.

John,
Thank you for the excellent article. It definitely makes it sound like sharpness is not based on type of steel but perhaps (you didn't test this) ability to hold the edge sharpness may depend on it. You also made a reference to "quality steel" at the end. When you say "If you buy quality steel from the beginning you won’t have that problem", what do you mean by "quality steel"? What is poor quality steel?
