  Yes, that’s right. The other one is a Söderfors Extra Specialstål. It is older and has an extra hollow grind (I think). I bought it off of eBay and it had geometry issues (probably why the seller dumped it). In fixing the geometry, I also lowered the bevel angle slightly. The combination of bevel angle and grind make that MK No. 31 very special.

      It is different. Takes an amazing edge, but I don’t want to go overboard about that. The standard MK No. 31 is not a slouch by any means.
