RE: Hunting Knives
Its all how much $$ you want to spend. I personally like Benchmade knives. I have some made of M2, D2 and154cm steel. The 154 is stainless but it takes a little time to sharpen. They do hold an edge real well. M2 and D2 will rust but I have never had it happen. They are easier to sharpen and hold an edge just as well as the 154cm. I have an AFCK, Stryker, and Auto Stryker I bought on ebay for around $100 each. They do have some that are cheaper but they are made with cheaper steel too. I have never tried one of those.
