FWIW
I made a couple dozen or so 10" tactical knives for service members back when the sand pit
was going hot and heavy. I used A2 and a kydex sheath. Nothing but good responses from
users, some very heavy users.
I’ve only worked with A2 once. A group of us on the Knife Dogs forum did a military build years ago and Aldo sent us a few plates of A2 to make them from. I shipped all of the knives to a group with the 45th Infantry in Afghanistan. Sadly, I never received any reviews after their deployment.
My main point of this post was to honestly get opinions from those who have carried and used A2 blades. Most of the blades I’ve made and commissioned from others over the years have been carbon steels. I guess I need to build one, beat the hell out of it and see what happens.
