A fanboy of D2 ever since getting a D2 Ingram shortly after Steelhead exploded Gene's handmades on 24hrCF. Considering acquiring a RAT2 D2 for EDC and curious about the RAT2D2 heat treat.
What have your experiences been?
Update:
From all indicators, the RAT R2D2 I received is not a counterfeit.
I've had the R2D2 for a few weeks now and formed an impression. To answer my own initial question, the RAT R2D2 does not seem to hold it's edge as well as I have come to expect of D2. I've use the RAT to skin a meat sheep and two meat goats. The edge needed to be freshened with the fine stones of a Spyderco Sharpmaker and a F.Dick butcher's steel to continue to cut effortlessly. It should be mentioned that the animal skins had a bit of dried mud caked on. Although the RAT D2 edge retention did not amaze, IMO, it did perform about as well as a $40.00 knife would be expected to.
