Is D2 tough or what?

Decided to make a few folders out of D2 rather than stainless as it is close to non staining. Hand sanding this stuff is difficult and the edge holds what seems like forever. I can HT in my Evenheat easily. You don't see it much though. Any reason for this?
 
I use it all the time. Its one of my favorite steels because it fills the gap between stainless and carbon steel. I also love it because I can plate-quench it.
 
Higgie,
D2 is grat steel just not the buzz word.
It is tough and holds a great edge.
It gets freaky sharp.
