I put CrOx on my Spyderco and finished a Genco and Case Red Imp on it; the results were stellar. Don't know if I could have done that treatment on lesser steel.
The more i use the spyderco UF, the more I like it. It's like pizza, it's great regardless of whether or not you sprinkle stuff on it. Every time I use a natural stone, I look back at the table in my basement BR (where I can get away with leaving stones laying all over the place) and look at the spyderco UF and figure that I should knock off all of this mickey mouse and just go to using it exclusively, maybe with just a few passes to the finished edge with an old japanese barber's stone to knock the smarts off of the edge a little bit.
