i thought they were basically the same steel, just made by different companies?
they are tool steels and will rust if you dont take good care of them

Rasul is Vanadis 23, similar to M3 high-speed tool steel. Vanadis 23 is a harder steel, while Vanadis 4 is stronger. So yes Vanadis 4 is similar to CPM 3V / 4V.
I would choose vanadis 4, if I was going to choose between those two
If you wanted to possibly go away from the Malanika chopper, I would go CPM 3V, more of it out there so more choice in design, and as it is not quite as exotic as other highend steels, it is not as expensive.
As for design, I really like the Bark River Canadian camp 2, fits my idea of the perfect large camp knife, before you start getting into machete territory.

Cheers everyone, as long as they’re basically the same steel I suppose it doesn’t matter. Thanks for the help, I’ll be aware of the potential staining/rusting.
