Found a lot of good suggestions here; as well as warnings of violent explosions on improper sharpening and other mysterious bad things which may happen.
Left unanswered is just what properties make a knife of this type good, better or best? Is it: The ability to perform certain tasks with effortless precision? Not need resharpening for the longest time? Takes the keenest edge? Survive being bounced of the floor a couple of times? Corrosion resistance? Prettiest? Not exploding while being sharpened?
