That's pleasant to hear. I'll have to sleep on getting the kit. My searches were non-forum articles, but I'll try to find them.

Edit: I found it so you dont have to read the hole review (though its a good read
)
He said, it didnt hold up to well to scraping, but whittling on hardwoods it held a good edge, and sharpend eaisly.
AND I QOUTE:
"The standard comment about these knives is that just about everyone likes the concept. Exceptions are notable, which is quite rare with knives. Then of course comes the comment that the steel in them is pretty soft and useless. It's usually classified as 440A, which is a great steel for corrosion resistance, and is still used for diving knives - but is hard to sharpen for the amount of edge holding you get. Other people say it's a German steel called 4110, with o.5-0.7% carbon. I'd think that it must be the latter, since I was quite shocked at how well a properly set up edge sliced, push cut on hard wood and lasted. Much ado about steels is just that of course: everything lies in the heat treatment of which details are usually lacking.
Probably most of the negatives I've heard were from army people who were issued these blades in bigger sizes and just had a small stone to work the edge. You'd be forever getting back behind the factory edge and so it's not surprising to hear the comments. With a fair amount of sharpening on a large abrasive, the comments might be different.
It's well worth doing a major amount of work right from the beginning!"
, you'll have to point that out, I have never, and I mean never had a problem.
