I agree!! My most exotic steel is BG42. It just takes a few extra minutes, so no complaint here.Buy knives with steel I can actually sharpen. Don't have the time nor patience to sharpen the more "exotic" stuff. Unfortunately I learned this the hard way by purchasing quite a bit of the "exotic" stuff that I now don't care to sharpen.
Sure are pretty tho.
Lol, ......uh yup!!The deeper you go in to the knife world your taste will change and you’ll probably find yourself daily Carrying and using a $500-600 knife without even thinking twice about it.
So I’ve learned that your tastes will change and your needs/wants will change as you carry and use your knives and see what does and doesn’t work! It’s a fun journey and there are no shortcuts - there’s no way around figuring it all out for yourself... so while we can all enjoy this journey we are all together - it’s a journey that’s best taken alone... because what I like and don’t doesn’t necessarily means your taste should reflect the same.
amen to that. a loved one gifted me one. I gave it away secretly.Another thing that can be added to your first lesson is to never use pull through sharpeners.
