I can't say I am stunned by the edge holding of my sr77 yard knives.. BUT when I hit a steel staple in a piece of wood I was chopping up my DF, the edge just rolled a bit and didn't chip. After a few hour soak in warm salty water they went rusty.. but cleaned up well and easily- to suffer no long term ill effects. So as a working edge that Lansky's up pretty well sr77 takes some beating!!

As an allrounder Dan's knives can't be beaten at the price- or a good chunk above it!
