>>1499359>>1499097Cheap SS isn't something you pass down your family line, anons. Your tools should be of the highest quality and last generations. Not just lasting 10-20 years of hardly any use at all. I own knives & a machete that my great grandfathers and great grandmother used. They are all carbon steel and I use them weekly; almost daily. They usually only need a bit of touch up honing while SS knives need a lot more care for the same amount of work. Cheaper SS needs even more work to maintain a proper edge, even from the most light duty use. I'm not keen on redoing edge angles because the metal is simply too soft.

If you need to use small knives for dedicated bushcraft then get a wood carving kit so that you have all the proper blades for the specific cuts that are needed.
