If you like the knife style, just pull the trigger, the AUS-6 from Kershaw is a good steel. Takes a good edge and holds it good enought for EDC use.(read, you may have to sharpen it more often than S30V, but it the knife "grabs" you, just go for it!):thumbup:

Go for it man! :thumbup:
That is a very nice looking knife and I am sure it is well worth the price. However, I have a Kershaw with the AUS6A steel (Vapor II) and I have been disappointed with the edge holding. It can blunt with a single hard cut. The steel is fine for light duty tasks (opening mail, cutting string, etc.), but don't let it even look at cardboard. I am not interested in carrying it as a do-everything EDC. Very close to SAK steel but possibly a shade better. It depends on what you want to do with it. It will certainly be tough, easy to sharpen and resistant to rust.
