How was this knife holding up? I really like the looks of this blade, wish the handle swept forward a bit more

That looks like a nice piece. I am fairly comfortable with 1084, so this should be right in my wheel house.
I will be looking into this model, thanks.

If you like this, but have certain tweaks that you would like, take a look at the Osprey Knife &Tool "Raptor K".

Completed a strip of the original coating along the blade. I know it's 1080, so I'm going to need to be careful with rust. Already working a patina
with daily kitchen duty.

I looked further into the alloy used, and it is not 1080, it is SK5, which was comparable to W108. There seems to be some peculiarities with the alloy names, and what each is comparable to or also known as.
Though W108 is now akin to SK85, as stated below.
Break down and comparisons of the alloys is listed below.
