As of yesterday, yes, they've duplicated it and done a good job of it.

I hate to do a "secret recipe" thing here because this forum is so much about the open exchange of information, but this modification and refinements was a pretty significant investment of time and materials for Dan, Guy and myself.

I will say this, avoiding the secondary hardening hump is a step in the right direction.
 
how did I miss this thread? So glad to have found it.

.For years my go to steel for abuse was a2 .I've got one that has been thru 15 deer and still hasn't needed to be resharpened. To see how well it would take the abuse I took a hammer and drove it thru the rib cage and pelvic bones. So far I've had no chipping or deforming on the edge.
