Folding- S 30V
I know everyone is bored with s30v but since I’ve had a chance to try many different manufacturers 30v, it’s so consistent, very forgiving, easy to sharpen, not picky when you used different abrasives; and in fact now that I’ve played around with my sharpening process with it, I can get it to preform to where I can carry it for weeks and through daily use just strop it for 30 seconds and it’s right back to hair whittling.

That’s the carbon steel mora uses in their companions and I can field sharpen that stuff on a river stone (and I have)
I once carved an owl out of some oak 5” tall, 1.5” wide when finished...took me 2 days or about 6 hours of whittling. I twisted out of cuts, hit knots, did a lot of detailed cutting; and I was on a hunting trip with no sharpening equipment. That knife just kept on going. 6 hours of use straight, and all said and done I could have dressed a deer with the thing. Cheap steels but that’s why I pick them.
