CRKT's SK5 steel question

[Val91]

Hello guys.

I've been looking at CRKT's products lately and i've been wondering if anyone has any experience with CRKT's SK5 steel ? If yes, how is it holding up ? how's edge retention and overall toughness/wear resistance ?

Thanks!

SK5 is roughly equivalent to 1080 carbon steel. So no matter what they do for a heat treat, it's not going to have much wear resistance.
