Maxamet is a powdered steel. It's got a pretty wild alloy. It would be very expensive, even compaired to D-2 I think. Heat treat would also be expensive. It would do well, I would guess (and it's just a guess) it would see another 50% edge holding over D-2 at the same hardness. Though as stated before, it wouldn't be as strong. The particle steel technology in this alloy makes up for some of the strength loss. Since I've never played with this steel alloy I'm only speaking from a theoretical level.
