Yeah, but there is 1 point, on heavily abrasive materials - felt,
dirty skin of a wild boar, rubber contaminated with dust and sand,
modern steel works better: 154CM/ATS34, CPM S30V and other CPM,
Bohler microclean powder steels, german Lohman PGK steel,
russian/ukrainian DI90 and DI90MP, CTS steels.
They hold the cutting edge better.
Merit of Scandinavians, in general, only a good geometry of blades
The Bark River went the right way - CPM 3V and Elmax
on knives with Scandinavian blade type, ie model "bushcrafter"
and "scandi"


And thanks for the links, as always very interesting
