I am looking to buy a Knives of Alaska Alpha Wolf for field dressing whitetail deer and doing some smaller jobs on moose and black bear. I am trying to decide which steel would be better for me to get D2 or S30V. I am by no means a pro at sharpening my knives and I would have to actually buy a sharpener as I only have the cheap $5 ones right now. I am looking for a steel that holds a great edge and doesn't need to be sharpened after every deer. When it does need to be sharpened it should be easy enough to get a great edge back and hold it for a while. I am very good at cleaning and oiling my knives so they won't rust. I have no problem at all paying the extra $25 on the S30-V if its the right steel for me. What steel should I pick and why? Thanks
