Well, if you're willing to overlook a half finished grind job that's been covered up, a rough choil and spine, a simple handle, and the lack of a long emoto, it's a hell of a knife, lol.
Seriously though, the steel is great, and the geometry is actually very nice.
For a project knife, which is exactly what this is, it's perfect.

It seems similar to aeb-l. I think it has a touch more carbon content.
It doesn't have any of the added elements that can make some stainless not fun to sharpen.
I've found it does have a slight patina, so I think it's barely stainless, in fact; it does have some chromium.
It took a quick edge, and didn't gum up my stones much.

Sounds cool
I might try this out as a project knife as well
I have had the same issue with some stainless where they aren't so stainless
