Oh- most folks think L6 is pretty tough stuff. I don't know that I'd disagree: I had an EDMF that was probably L6. Tough and wickedly sharp.

L6 does rust very easily, though...hence my suggestion for a small blade in it (if you were out in the woods lube might be in short supply)! In general, my list goes from springiest to sharpest, and we've already talked about HT and profile.
