d2 outcast

[seth2915]

Folks, I just got a new Kershaw Outcast, mostly with gift certificates. Can anybody tell me how this knife performs compared to, say, a Ranger RD9, a Kabar heavy bowie or the old Carbon V Trailmasters? Like in terms of toughness, edge retention, effectiveness in chopping and slicing and comfort of use?

Thanks.

I have one and used it only twice, the RD-9 outperformes it easily. The problem with this blade is that it's made of D2 wich to my find is very hard to sharpen especialy for a blade that size. The edge also have the wrong angle, it has to be reprofile. For the price you would be better with a RD-9 or a RTAK-2, and for a little more a Dogfather is king...Cheers!!!
