I agree Andy, steel can be confusing and it's not that hard to learn to sharpen knives if you have the right steel. I favor older knives before all this super duper carborumdum blah blah steel. I've got a number of older Remington, Case and Barlow style knives to name a few which were made with good old steel that would rust if you didn't take care of them. I can get them to a razor's edge. The Buck 110 from 30 years ago is a frustrating knife which I could never get the edge I wanted. If you can find any Puma knife you could get a decent edge on one of them with little effort.
