Back to my original question, as far as size and feel in the hand how does the UT compare to a full size Kwaiken? I like the looks of the Kwaiken, not as much as the UT which is why I went with the UT initially.
As far as the durability of VG-10 compared to other steels, there's usually some trade-off when it comes to the various traits of these steels (edge retention, ease of sharpening, corrosion resistance, etc), and I don't know what other blades you have in your knife locker. My regular EDC for the past 20+ years has been an ATS-34 bladed Benchmade; technically not quite as tough as VG-10. But I've been beating the holy hell out of it for more than two decades and the blade is still in good shape, shaving sharp, and has never failed me when I've needed it. Granted, I maintain it fairly well but I suppose I'm trying to say that it's not always in the numbers you see on paper. My 2 cents and your mileage may vary. Cheers!
