Both are neat.....Which do you think has the better steel?

[Chuck 100 yd]

I like both. They are both made of fine steel and properly heat treated I am sure. Enjoy!

The sales brochure say this about the steel:

We can now present a world first as regards the blade - it's in laminated VG10 steel, where the edge is made of our now renowned VG10 steel and the sides consist of tough, all-stainless 420J2 steel. This combination is unquestionably the best, since it brings together all conceivable and desirable properties such as resilience, resistance to torque and edge-durability in a single blade. A 7 mm (0.28") thick blade in itself would be strong enough for most tasks - with laminate technology one can expect an additional 20% strength in the form of resistance to bending, as compared to an ordinary VG10 blade.

Maybe I am stupid but I want to rehandle it to stag.

Hardly - considering the stag on that Cold Steel Trailmaster is gorgeous!

I have a couple of knives made from that laminated steel. They are crazy sharp and really hold an edge.

I think your right on with the rehandel
The top blade looks to have a flat grind, the bottom looks like a moran grind
I like the bottom knifes profile and clip, if it's flat ground and stag handeled, I think it would be the better lookin knife
But both are fine lookin blades

[Old Savage]

I would not want either of these handles on a heavy duty knife.

[Hombre]

This handle maybe you would think will be better....

Absolutely, that Is what I would get. I have one on a Cold Steel Master Hunter, if you want it for heavy use that it is designed for. If it is ornamental, stag certainly, or leather if you prefer.
