I know about the 80CrV2 elements and have the same thoughts about it as you Stuart. I was wondering about the finished knife. There isn't a bunch of difference between O1 and it except .1% carbon and tungsten. I was asking if anybody has actually made a blade from it. Have you? Your answer is rather vague.

I have access to a forge and may buy a 12" piece from AKS just to try, but an oven looks like a more exacting way to test it, but it's a forging steel to. College has parks 50 like quenchant, may be ATF for all I know. It's certainly reddish like ATF. Class teacher didn't say.
