fallkniven U2 steel question

[ph.ht1]

What is SGPS and how does it compare to other steels such as S30V, 154cm, VG10 , etc. I am considering buying the U2. Is this a great knife?

Here's a previous thread with some information on it http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=374809&highlight=SGPS

The U2 as a knife seems to have a large, loyal following. How good the steel is will take time to learn in detail, but it ain't bad!

For what it is - light, high hardness blade, lock-back, practical small knife - I have found it dandy so far (owned it for about 2 mos.).

For me, it's a good option for when blade length is an issue.

It sorta follows Spyderco's example - good or great steel with an inexpensive ergo-dynamic handle.
