The bottom line is this:

1. Dan designed it
2. Dan stands behind it.

He would not make this beast in anything less than the steel he feels will meet our needs and handle what we consider regular "use".

Every time we have gotten worried about a steel selection we find out there was no reason to worry in the first place.

Beyond a doubt, this one will perform as well as every other blade Dan has come out with! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
