YP-Taonta blades and Veikko Hakkarainen Kullervo puukko are in C75.
I have a custom Puukko made by Malanika in 80crv2.
I have used it in dismembering and boning out deer. Cleared a shooting lane in front of my blind by cutting finger thick poplar saplings about 250 of them. Cutting bread, bacon, carrots, spuds, rope and what not in camp. A few strokes on the strop and she is back to shaving sharp
Hardness is @ 61 Rockwell. No I don't baton it. I use an hatchet for that.
I am fully satisfied with the knife. For my purpose, hunting, camping and fishing this is perfect. We do not need Elmax and other wonder steels for these purposes, other then for pride of ownership and the "cool" factor perhaps.
