hidepounder Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I agree with you Dave, steel is still the best, in my humble opinion! I think a lot of people gravitate to the RubyAt and ceramic blades because they haven't developed the skills to sharpen steel properly. I know I certainly went through that phase as well! Once I learned to sharpen my steel blades, I discovered I preferred them. That said, it's still important to buy a quality steel blade. I use Henleys and Bob Beards...so far they are the best I've found. I have not tried Pauls (Leather Wranglers) blades yet, however, I understand they are very good. Troy likes them, and that's quite an endorsement! I know Paul has certainly done a ton of research to determine the best steel to use for swivel knife blades. The important thing is to aquire the tools and skills necessary to sharpen your blades properly...your tooling will improve immediately! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Bob Quote
