I want to see a proper field review of this knife by someone who actually personally bought it and not have it given to them for testing/review. It looks the part but even for a military style blade, it will also look like sh*t after a while with Sleipner having even less Cr than D2. The chemically blackened version, really, what 50 bucks more than the satin version, come on? You can't venture anywhere near the salt water either with it so it relegates this knife to either collectors with the big bucks to wannabes/weekend warriors who like badass looking knives (ok fair enough). Ok for big wide guard lovers. I've been using Sleipner in the field not some desktop testing and it rusts pretty quickly and that's not in saltwater. While Uddeholm make great steels like ELMAX, I'm not convinced that Sleipner is just reinventing the D2 wheel. Uddeholm of course gives it great praise but steers well away from it's corrosion resistance. If it's PVDed that's another matter though.
Still it's one cool looking blade.
