Meme steel is just meme steel, it's objectively "better" but does absolutely fucking nothing that any half decent steel won't. 1095 will be just fine, it's a fucking knife, a chunk of metal sharpened enough to cut things you run into. It's going to spend 99.99% of it's life going unused, the majority of that last 0.01% will be tape/rope/other soft shit with the most challenging thing it should ever face being wood. Enjoy your tool, use it responsibly, take care of it, and it will outlast your grandchildren. Hell I carry pic related most of the time, $12 at Walmart, used up/broke/lost a half dozen of them over the years. Still nowhere near the cost of a "good" knife and I don't feel bad at all about abusing the fuck out of it because it's $12. Killed my last one using it to chip dried clay out of the disc.
