Pop's ProCut vs older carbon steels

[EatingSarma]

Ever since it was announced - I keep my eye out waiting for ProCut steel to become available on a production knife.

I'd like to try it out.

But I want to know what to expect exactly?
Most carbon steels we now think about when hearing "carbon steel" are 1095 and other 10xx steels, 52100, 5160, O1, O2....

I wonder how does it perform compared to some of more "extreme" carbon steels?

Like:
80CrV2
S5
S7
A8
A8 mod
Bohler K329
INFI....

And so on...

I am not sure we will be able to tell you anything Larrin hasnt already covered here:

Pop's ProCut - A New Carbon Steel for Knives - Knife Steel Nerds

The new Pop's ProCut combines high toughness from nickel, good edge retention from tungsten/vanadium, and is easy for knifemakers to use.

From the link above. You can compare to his other page where you can see some of the other steels you mentioned listed with the results.
