Description: The is a very well made knife, using what I feel to be the best steel anywhere. 52100 is a very aggressive steel that consistently holds its edge and stays razor sharp. It's not surprising that 52100 seems to always do well in ABS cutting competitions. The soft back draw allows the edge to be extremely hard, while keeping the spine soft for an extremely durable knife.
