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:
