Ideal for hunters, backpackers, and outdoorsmen, the Spyderco Junction is based on one of Gayle Bradley’s popular custom designs. Taking center stage here is the PSF27 steel blade Read More
ScientificHooliganThey're not in the same league. The steel on this knife is much better at edge holding and corrosion resistance than 1095.
1095 will be slightly tougher. But I doubt you'll ever really notice as PSF27 is still plenty tough for anything except prybar use.
In my experience, spray-formed is a nice middle ground between powder steels' propensity for long-term edge retention and razor edges, and traditional steels' toothier carbides, which give more purchase when cutting fibrous materials. PSF27 is basically D2, so it's already tough and easy to handle, and the spray-forming process mostly improves those qualities, making it less prone to chipping. Anecdotally, it's also a little less prone to staining or rust. It's a little harder to work, but if anyone's up to the task, it's Spyderco.
If you're the type to get lost in the woods in midwinter, this is the steel for you. If you just like opening your Amazon boxes with a big, expensive knife, it should be pretty good for that, too.
