My brother really uses his pocket knives, sticking to the mentality of "every tool is a hammer". He typically carries at best a CRKT and usually a no name brand that lasts 6 months tops.
He wears out pivots and all his screws loosen as fast as his knife dulls. When I sharpen them I end up cleaning out a ton of gunk too.
I'm looking to get him a decent tough knife. Nothing too expensive but I'd like a thinner edge that'll cut after it dulls a bit in a decent steel that isn't as soft as his usual 440A knives.
I found the Kershaw Barge which would be great but it's 8Cr13MoV:
Anything similar in a better steel?
