How does KOA Alpha Wolf hold an edge and is it hard to sharpen with the D2 steel?
The Alpha Wolf holds an edge pretty damn good in my opinion. I went through five antelope and three muleys before trying to sharpen it. It wasn't dull but not razor sharp like when I first bought it. I tried using a Lansky pro stone set but it isn't as sharp as I feel it should be. I might try the diamond set before sending it back to KOA to have them sharpen it.
I know they use D-2 for a lot of forming dies "not much for cutting dies", D-2 is an abrasive material pending if it was double drwden at heat treat or not. That is why I asked if it held a good edge. Thanks
