I wish I understood a few things better about them.

One: how to really sharpen well, it's a skill I still work on...in in vain

Two: knife steels. Wish I knew what the flipping differences were.

I pulled out a cheap EDC knife I thought was pretty neat for the money at the club a few years back. This old fella looks at it, "Yeah, it's cheap because it's yildimium carbonundrum allominumonium and that's shit steel, hard to sharpen, won't hold an edge..." Which was exactly the problem I had. Looked shiny. I'm attracted to shiny objects I guess.
