How do you think this knife stacks up against knives in its size range like the Trailmaster, Shining Mountain Bowie, 1909 Michigan Bowie, Esee junglas, Terava Skrama etc. for chopping and delimbing stuff?
 
Here's some talk about their SK85 steel, new name for SK-5.

Thread 'SK85 steel - what is your experience?'

My understanding is that SK85 has almost as much carbon as 1095, but it also has other additional elements that make it roughly equal to or slightly superior to vanilla 1095. Perhaps slightly better edge holding, similar toughness, and more corrosion resistance? Work Tuff Gear appears to use it regularly. I am intrigued. Please inform me - I am looking for knowledge, experience, and opinions.
