Grohmann knives (made in canada) are amazing! I have a couple and they sharpen great, hold a keen edge and are tough as hell! I also have a couple gerbers (one the folding, half serrated blade - an excellent knife for all day everyday, have to be careful while riding though, i can slide out of the pocket if you only use the clip! - the other a fixed blade gator...) and the outdoor edge whitetail skinner... Very impressed with the outdoor edge... i didnt think i would be, i thought it would be poor steel and hard to deal with always sharping but it will go through an entire moose without a touch up... and moose hair is the hardest thing on a blade!
