Used a Buck 110 for years. In the last 10 or so, I've been using Gerber Gators clip point non serrated. They've been great.

I have a couple knives with some of the harder steels and find them to be a double edge sword (pun intended). They are harder to sharpen but do stay sharp longer. I'm pretty content with 440 steel.


Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
