    Using yourself or others?.
    I would expect just about any knife sharp at the start should last at least one.

    $35 at farmlands does a truck load of deer without needing a rub, lasts years and performs better than any sword or bark river I've used

    Thats Carbon steel knives for you man. They will all roll an edge when using against bone. Will come back to razor with a hone on a steel halfway through.

    Modern stainless is way harder but once it's blunt it's blunt and will need a stone to bring it back.

    The hc steels are typically way easier to put a fine edge on.

    They go blunt fast, got one I've been meaning to sell, been using a Farmlands Mercator copy last couple of years, bought three cause they cost about $12 ea - one sharpen will get through several animals with the odd refresh, they weigh nothing, take up no space and wont slice you when you tip up.
