I got it yesterday, reprofiled and sharpened it today.

It's extremely easy to reprofile and sharpen, it will take an extremely sharp edge and it holds it pretty well.

It's really a steel one with a sharpmaker could deal with without much problems.

I ran my cutting test on it today and it did very well, it would cut paper after the cardboard, but wouldn't shave hair.

I do believe that one could cut cardboard with it all day long as it seemed to get a nice working edge on it and I didn't notice any dulling when cutting so that is a very good thing.

To me it and M4 did exactly the same as both steels are cardboard cutting manics AFAIC. :thumbup:

I would love to see a factory release in this steel in the Endura 4.

From the Factory.




After Reprofiling, sharpening and the Cardboard testing




As you can see in the above 2 photos it started to get a nice toothy working edge, while not shaving sharp it still cut extremely well.

Here is the Pile of cardboard, video still. :D

There is no other place to get it, they are a limited run...

Unless you go to Spyderco in Golden CO and buy it there, likely the same price though.

Same price at the factory store in Golden. The website orders actually ship from the same shop - when I went there a few months ago to pick out a Bushcraft second, they had giant piles of USPS boxes ready to ship out. It was impressive.
