A: Satin 420hc, I have several Condor knives and machetes all 1055 or 1075 steel, I was disappointed in this one...
Old Timer Sharpfinger is a much better and less expensive option

Oh yeah I didn’t realize it was 420. I don’t buy stainless steel knives very often. Always stick with 1095 or 1075 from Condor. Cheaper and easier to sharpen. Good catch. My fault.

Oh I was just wondering my case's are SS but seen you said try and stick with the 1075 for a skinner. No harm no foul.

Every company’s steel is a little different. Case ss is actually pretty good and easy to sharpen. Hold an edge pretty good too. The CV chrome vanadium is better.
I should have realized that knife wasn’t 1075 because if wasn’t coated black. Most carbon steel knives are coated because they will rust. I usually take it off with either sandpaper, steel wool or Jasco paint and epoxy remover.

I've got a Camillus pocket knife I got one year for Christmas I never even used or taken out untelling what else I got in the gun cabinet. Not saying it's a good knife just was in there ha.

I found some wood handled mora bit more pricey as to be expected.

The reality is most knives made today are probably just fine for what most people use them for regardless of where they’re made. Sharpening them is the issue that most struggle with. Flat grind and scandi ground knives are easiest to sharpen on a stone for the average person. Learning to strop them with a compound on a piece of leather will keep them sharp as long as you don’t wreck the edge.

Most of those are designed for carving, wood working. Usually around $30
