All modern tool steels will make a good knife blade if they're properly heat treated. D2 is commonly used to make piercing dies for punching holes in steel. It's very tough when it's taken up to Rockwell 62, or so. But it's a bear to work with. A2 is another tool steel that makes a good knife blade. But I've learned to appreciate good old high carbon steel,..somewhere around 1095, for knife blades. I like the way it'll take a superfine edge. You have to care for it. It'll rust easy. But a knife made of 1095 that's had an razor edge put on it with an extra fine stone is a nice tool to work with.

The Blackbird is stainless, not sure what exactly, maybe ATS-30??? Something like that. It sharpens up easily enough on a stone.

Most useful knife I've ever owned and the SOB stays sharp after cutting cardboard, rope, leather, etc.! Costs around $8.00 and handy as hell as a neck knife (or in a bag, or truck door, or tackle box, or kitchen drawer....).

No it can't. A well made larger knife will do heavy cutting chores and hold a workable edge through tasks that would destroy lighter built knives. Still, a well put together small knife is a joy to own and use. And always there when you need it Through my military years I carried a 7" Randall that I bought just off post at a Bragg Blvd Gun shop, near Ft Bragg. The day I bought the Randall, the shop owner gave me a small folding Gerber (Gerber Classic). I loved and still love the Randall. But the little Gerber became my constant companion. I carried both knives on 3 continents. The Randall was a comfort in just knowing it was there if needed. The Gerber carried the load "Chances Will Be Taken"

With this one they use a variation of the Buck 119, which is a great blade, but the black phenolic handle gets slick when it's bloody. Buck handles that with this version. No point in dramatizing this I guess. Just want to point out Buck has brought out a nice version of a Ka-bar knife, which I think is pretty nice, for many uses. Bug out...to where? added, if where I live is screwed then the rest of the world has ceased to exist. Last edited by JSTUART; 12/04/18. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
