Very nice knife! Am i right in saying RWL-34 steel is designed for skinning etc and wouldnt really keep an edge in the day to day rigors a normal bushcraft knife would be put through?

Thanks for your kind words
But I have to say that you’re not right RWL-34 is a very god steel and really can keep an edge very well , kitchen knives are made from this steel to.

Cheers

Ah, professor google has lied to me!


RWL-34. Stainless-steel:D:D

Made by a small firm in Sweden, it is specifically designed for hunting knives. With a hunting knife, the prime concern is edge retention.
You want a sharp knife that stays sharp as long as possible.
The grain is exceptionally fine, which allows the edge to be ground to the sharpest possible edge.
It is possible to get a sharp edge on almost any steel, but holding it is the trick.
Because of the fine grain, the edge is free of burrs. Combined with the high hardness of Rc 61 it stays sharper for longer.

Cheers

Same article on google confused me a bit by saying this:
"It does not need toughness or flexibility because you won’t be using it for chopping, prying or whittling."

Anyway, beautiful knife, good luck with the sale!
