Lol, yep Rambo.First you need to study some metallurgy about the different alloys.I didn't say S30V wasn't a good steel, just that I don't prefer it over carbon steels.S30V is hardly the "Best" knife steel because truly there is no best for all types of knives and conditions.Most production companies have their own mix of alloys, and most custom makers use alot of different steels.Each type of steel has its own pro's and con's.I have found like many custom makers that steels like O-1 will hold an edge as good as if not better than most hi-grade stainless blades and be easier to sharpen in the field.The down side to carbon steels is that they must be maintained or they will rust, so if your the type to put your knife away after the season and don't ever use it till the next season, get a stainless blade.My knives get used and carried daily.
I still think guthooks and sawbacks are useless gimics,and don't know any pro hunters and guides that use them.There may be a few but I have never met one.
Natural handle materials mean wood, antlers,horn, bone etc.,and again I have to disagree.I still have some of the first knives I made and still carry one of them after 20 years.I have seen many knives from the 1800's still in great condition.
As to your last comments, I will agree folders are easier to carry most places but I live in a state where carry is not an issue and carry a fixed blade daily.
