Thanks for the answers and interesting information. I am curious because I assumed the thick, heavy hide on large African game would sort out the good from the bad right quick. I am considering getting a "fancier", higher end knife and wanted to see which knives worked well in the field on the aforementioned heavy game.
As JJ Hack points out, some steels can be tough to sharpen, but at the same time they hold their edge for a very long time and don't chip or roll very easily.
