One of Bill Moran's comments to the author of the book on his 50th anniversary knives was that he thought that W2 may not be quite as tough as 5160, but it holds a better edge. My first completed blade seems to confirm the edge holding part, but what I have seen from messing around is that Don's batch of W2 will get DEAD soft when annealed and bend like a pretzel without any visble damage or strain....good stuff!!!!Dr. D will back me up I am sure, when I see that knife you get the urge to buy it
What do you think of the W2 steel? In making or cutting tests after?
