Wow that is a beautiful specimen. I have been kinda obsessed with Puukkos lately, your thread is very timely. I see a lot of custom Puukkos made out of that steel. I am not familiar with it. I would be curious to know how it holds up and what the Rockwell is on it.

I don't know the specific hardness but it's a carbon toolstool and a lot of people seem to like it.

My experience so far has been good as well. Take a a patina fairly quick much like O1
