[QUOTE="tzahoy, post: 490176, member: 31310"] I've got one but haven't used it enough to have a good handle on edge life yet. My best knife for edge life is a Benchmade McHenry and Williams in M2 high speed steel. It took a while to elarn to sharpen it well, but I skinned and cleaned two deer in one day with it and it was still sharp enough to pop the hairs off my arm. Unfortunately they're not making many knives in this steel any more and they're fetching quite a premium now. I paid $120 for it new, but they're selling for twice that now, not that I'd part with it. That said my almost daily carry knife is a D2 Bob Lum, and it holds a wicked edge a long time too and is easier to sharpen then the M2 Bemchmade. I bought my D2 Bone Collector as a backup to my M2 Benchmade assuming it would be close to the M2 performance. I've found it to be a little too chunky for my taste for daily carry, and the ridges in the grip tend to hang up on the pockets and make it a little more difficult to get in and out of the pocket. I'll probably re-shape the grip a bit and end up liking it a lot. I really like the blade shape and think it will make a great hunting knife when tweaked to my taste. Once I get a better feel for edge life I'll post again. [/QUOTE]
