Been beating the crap out of this rwl 34 test knife for a couple of days. It's whacked through a couple of 4x2s and smashed some nails, Very impressed with the steel. Keeps its edge well and doesn't deflect. Could be run very thin. All in all an excellent stainless option that sharpens and finishes much like a simple carbon but has edge holding capability not far of more complex vanadium alloys like s30v.
I've tested a few steels now looking for the right steel for my hunting knives, this is a front runner for me.
Used some little tasmanian blackwood offcuts for the handle, man it's pretty timber.
I will have a similar style rwl 34 bird and trout knife that doesn't have a home in weeks if anyone is looking for one. Just need to whack a handle on.
