      I find the high carbon steel knives easy to sharpen, esp compared to the VG10, AUS8, etc alloys.
      Mine get regular use.  The workload is spread due to my problem.  I break down chickens with the carver regularly.  I sharpen them all annually.  If I only had one, then it would be semi-annual.

      A good end grain board and honer, along with proper use, will carry your knife far.  Many sharpening system options these days that take out the guesswork, make it rather simple.  The easier to sharpen argument, is weak at best.

      I have a slow speed wet wheel 100/200 grit German thing (Tormak clone) with stopping wheel... and an Apex Pro system.  My problem is I'm too busy/lazy enough to sharpen frequently enough.

      I hear ya.  Kind of a full blown project soaking the stones, and moving your way through them, with each knife.  Main reason I sit down and do them all in one sesh.  And hone religiously.  Love my Apex and Naniwa Chosera stones though, one of the better foodie tools I have purchased.  It will put on a wicked edge.

      I mostly use the Sharpton Glass stones on my Apex Pro. No soaking - just splash and go.

      Is this knife better than the rusty spoon I use?

      Don't tell your problems to people.  80% of people don't care and 20% are glad you have them.

      Intuitively, I would guess yes.  Now if you asked me if it was better than your rusty trombone, I would not know.

      You get what you pay for. There's a reason high end Damascus steel knives are pricey. There's a laborious process that goes along with making that kind of art in a knife. This one seems to have a good solid core but the outside of the knife looks to be like a pretty coating only.  IMHO it would be like arguing that a vinyl laminate is as good as a marble floor or performs the same or has the same longevity.  No thanks I'll pass.

      dammit. Can't remember how to post pics in here. Got it yesterday and am pleased. We'll see how well it holds. I'm sure I'll be impressed. It's beautiful.

      Nice looking knife. Handle looks comfortable.

      Let us know how well it cuts.
