man they are screaming sharp. Probably one of the reasons it's still my favorite steel out there. I know there's "better" but this stuff is great.

Yes! 🙌 my favorite too!
I might just have to try some of that Rex stuff cause I love Cruwear and k390 and ORANGE 🤣🤔

Definitely my experience with REX45 too😊
Factory edge almost crumbled on my atoma140 plate, but once resharpened couple of times, the edge crisped up. REX45 is amazing, so is Manix2LW

I have certainly less skills and experience than the two of you when it comes to steels, but incidentally REX 45 is my favorite (PE) steel too! :smlling-eyes

(Stiff competition lately by 4V (Goddard) though... could end up "beating" even REX 45 for me, not enough experience with 4 V yet to decide).
Top three going by pocket-time (update April 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10), Chaparral SE (CTS XHP)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Endela SE (K390)

You're on the right path Gernot! 4V just so happens to be my 2nd favorite haha! During my time working down in the warehouse when I would get a lot of my use and do all those comparison threads and sharpening responses both Rex45 and 4V were kings of the all the steels I tried. I'm no longer in the warehouse these day, since around March. Something tells if I was, 15V would probably be right there as well. All I know is Rex45 is a fantastic steel that isn't too difficult to work with, even for someone that's just getting started in the world of sharpening.

I think it really speaks for those steels when both a guy who knows a lot more about sharpening and steels than I do (= you ;) ) and me from just my totally unscientific, but coming from a lot of knife use "gut feeling" finds them to be awesome!

Ikr. I was like oh snap I forgot this was in here. Now it’s in my pocket for day. But it will go back so I can have it at all times.

Back to work tonight. I'll be outside and it's steamy hot with storms forecast, so MagnaCut Native it is.
