i have a 440c jade one. steel seems decent enough . havent really put it to much work yet, but sharpens like my other american made 440c knives. not that this means anything.
The 440c on my D01 that I had acts quite like the aus8 from my Rat 1. Is pretty dull after a whole day of cutting/slicing/opening boxes at work, but comes right back to razor with a few minutes on the sharpmaker and a strop. Hope that helps.
I mean it's Chinese 440c with a ht to match. Nothing great, endless sharpening. I get double or triple the use with better steel upgrade. So I avoid 440 an 8cr cause they are basically the same in my cutting tasks.
