As several have said, Old Hickory knives are GTG. I, too, have a number of other brand knives which I use from time to time, but OH is the one I use mostly. Most of them have come from yard sales for a mere 5-6 bucks. I think that a lot of the reason some think a knife wont stay sharp is because they don't know how to keep them that way, or how to sharpen them to begin with. A 10-12" steel is your best friend. Just my $0.02.
