About LinkBacks@hotbarrels, it's an interesting question , I have my own thoughts on knives and materials and design.
I think of them as functional art , first and fore most they have to do what they are designed to do , CUT, but I like them to look nice too.
As for the steel choice it goes back to the function , I like a steel that holds a great edge but also that can be re-sharpened in the field without amazing tools or skills.
All knives go blunt so all knives need to be sharpened. There are some very skilled hunters with great skills for sharpening a knife but there are also plenty who have average to poor skills and need a steel they can get a result from.
High carbon steels and some stainless offer these characteristics and like you have mentioned you enjoy them as a working blade.
I don't offer the super steels and really I don't have any great interest in them as I like to make knives that work for people in the kitchen or field.
The old steels like 1075 , 1084, 1095 , 01 tool steel etc have been around many years and for good reason.
I would think there are a lot of blunt super steel knives out there that the owners will never get sharp again .
