This is a good looking knife. Really like the shape and size of it. What is everyone's opinion on the steel?

erickongIt does of course depend on heat treat and grind, but in terms oft edge retention I would put it right between AUS-8 and VG-10. Apart from that its a straight forward stainless steel, no worries there. I have no experience with Tekut knives (a brand oft Nextorch), they are made in China, but so are Reate, Kizer, WE and so on. It very much depends in the individual company.

erickongIt's a very popular budget knife, people who have one seem to universally love it.
The steel is plenty good for $25, better than the old usual suspects of stainless, 8Cr and AUS-8. It's the sane steel as stainless Moraknivs.
