I was just playing with my W49 today,
and thought it funny you should post this. I would trust my W49 over most handmades by top names, Bagwell excepted. The Sharon steel was the original super-steel and used by most makers, and why those older knives work like the dickens. I cannot think, for sure, of any other knife, taken so thin, that would be trustworthy.
