The steel difference
Laminated VG-10
A VG-10 core clad in soft 420J2. The core takes the edge, the cladding absorbs shock — Fällkniven's whole argument.
1095 Carbon
The American survival-knife standard. Dead simple, very tough at these hardnesses, and it will start rusting the day you put it away wet.
