I've used it and use it from time to time same as Chris. Really with a lot of field testing, I see no appreciable difference between it and 1084 that has been HT'd properly. Good steel, forges well, HT's simple - what's not to like? Great for beginners to learn on and still get decent results.
Not going to be my go-to by any means, but I'll use it when I have it. I prefer a few other steels for my serious blades.
