Hi all,
I am going to buy an A. G. Russell Deer Hunter, but I don't know much about stainless steels.
The knife has been produced in AUS8A, but now may also be ordered in VG-10, which they compare favorably to ATS-34, or D2, which is "not completely stainless."
Sorry, but none of that makes much sense to me. Is VG-10 really worth $20 more than AUS8A? How "un-stainless" is D2? Is there a palpable difference in edge holding between the three?
The knife will process game, cut food and wood (as in fire starting) in use for me.
Here's the catalog page:
