Its a pretty decent steel.

Sandvik 12C27 knife steel

I can testify to the edge retention of the small folding Eka knifes.
As far as factory knives go (and Im a long way off testing all of em ) they seam very good so far

Not cheap, but compare to an 'average' production knife.
I have Kershaw, and Frontier knives.
The Japanese knives leave them for dead in terms of quality and sharpness.
I'm getting this next...
SC-101SD Little Encounter, Damascus 3-1/8" VG-10 core edge forged with 32 layered stainless Damascus blade and 4-1/8" G10 handle.
So, US$108 plus US$7 for delivery. It's just for bunny cutting!
I want sharp, and I want quality, plus that lovely Damascus blade.
It's worth the entry money!
I have tried another hand made knife (NZ made) and not impressed. Wouldn't hold an edge. Went blunt just gutting a pig. Happy to give it away to any member.
I guess it's why some guys shoot a Sako and others prefer a Marlin, or an SMLE (if you see what I mean).
Just because it's the right knife for me, doesn't mean it's right for others.

are you serious greykiwi about giving away a knife -if so I'd like to take you up on your offer. actaully my first centrfire is aa no4mk1* so hope that qualifies me

Yes kotuku.
It's yours, as no-one else has mentioned it.
I'm in ChCh weekly. Will pm you about it.
Cheers.

Very nice looking knives. None of the Japanese knives have a long enough blade for my liking.
