I have Recon 1 the regular size . It is good knife but the AUS 8 is s%#&t if they did use at last 440c It would be great knife ! I will never buy anything less than AUS 10 or 440c in stainless . I love the knife but if intended for use u will have to sharpen it every 1-3 days of light use.
I dont think it is s%#&t. It did better than my tenacious, rat and cryo steels that I tried. But this kicker is that it got sharper than most steels ive owned. I beat the heck out of the blade and it would not get damaged. Yes it would dull but I could cut metal ties, and smack it against rocks when cutting landscaping fabric and rubber without more than a little deforming.
