Recently I was working with my SP-8 "machette" from Ontario and it of course has a saber grind. I was then holding my falt ground Battle Mistress and it feels tougher but I was wondering how as there is so much less steel there. How is it that the Busse is so much stronger which I am sure it is--nothing against the SP-8 though as it is a great knife. Also, I know carbon steel is usually easier to shapren than stainless steel but which holds a better edge in general since I know it largely depends on the specific steel. I mean is SS's only advantage increased corrsion ressitance.

Once again any help will be appreciated and thank you all

thanks and take care
