What's the purpose of laminating the ZDP between AUS-8? The description says in order to make the blade harder and wear resistant, but is this so? I can understand how laminating might make the blade stiffer (less prone to bending), but how would it make the blade harder and more wear resistant?
Or is it merely for a cost savings?
As long as the core is ZDP-189 and the outside is a suitable steel, it shouldn't affect performance. I'm just curious why they chose to laminate instead of going with straight ZDP-189.

Al Mar makes nearly perfect knives. I own an Al Mar Sere 2000. Its, build, finish, and smooth action are second to none. This is a beautiful, elegant knife.

Saw this blade, and I think it looks great, then I saw AUS-8 in the description and was like... $200 for aus8? whaaaat?
However, I have learned a bit about laminating as a result. I would love one of these with a closer-to-legal-length blade! And hopefully cheaper too :)
