What I want is a blade that will hold an edge, can be sharpened when needed and not rust.
What you really want but you dont know it is the knife that can rust...
but you wont let it...cause you can take care of it, what you are seeking
is a non stainless hi carbon steel blade, they attain a level of sharp that far exceeds stainless blades, they hold the edge longer, and they are simple to sharpen if done correctly. A good hi carbon hunter will clean several elk deer or bear before it needs touching up, if its made properly and heat treated properly... 99% of its abilities are in the heat treat, the steel originally used, and the correct edge angle being put on the blade to begin with. As for rust... not even a consideration nowdays with all the blade oils and stuff out there to prevent it.
