I've found if I were rapidly removing heavily resined pine bark from a stick, for what ever reason. The 01 would get more chips in it than the 3V steel Ive been using recently. And even though the 3V is supposed to be harder to sharpen than the 01, because there are less little chips in the blade, it takes less time to resharpen, than it would to resharpen the 01.
So Im quite happy with these supersteels for bushcraft purposes. Like 3V, over 01.
Im using a 3V skookum bushtool right now and cannot see me changing.
I baton with it as well. But I think its important to get it from a reputable manufacturer, to make sure he's heat treated it correctly otherwise it wont work as it should do, and you'll be left scratching your head.
