I'm interested to know how this steel performs.
Superficially it is similar to VG10, with a bit more Cr, Mo and Co. It also has a bit of W:

Has anyone used it? How does it perform in terms of sharpening, deburring, edge retention, edge stability, etc?
Edited to add: I realise that HT is probably super important with this type of steel, so it might be good to say whose (which smith) knife you tried.
