I got one of these a couple of years ago and it stays sharp. It cost $64.99 and I have used it on 2 elk and 2 bucks in the last 2 years and only touched it up with a couple of swipes with one of those blue hand held sharpeners. This is a fancy buck 110 series knife with a special blade.
Cabela's Alaskan Guide Series 110 Folder Knife
The original lock-back knife, the 110 Folder sports a 3-3/4" clip-point blade of S30V steel with rosewood scales. Developed by Crucible Steel for the cutlery industry and known as the pinnacle of knife-making metals, S30V is comprised of metallic powders fused together under intense pressure and heat. It is then tempered under extremely high temperatures. This process is quickly followed by a cooling cycle in a cryogenic freezer. The resulting metal delivers the absolute finest combination of edge retention (45% greater than 420HC), flexibility and hardness (59-61 Rockwell) while remaining easy to sharpen with conventional stones. This steel also exhibits a high chromium content for oxidation resistance. For even greater corrosion resiliency each knife has been treated with a Titanium Aluminum Nitride coating. Our field testing and independent C.A.T.R.A. (Cutlery Allied Trade Research Association) tests prove these knives will outperform those crafted with other blade metals. These knives also have a leather sheath.
