Edge- Holding & Sharpness

[gold40]

Have you noticed significant differences in the "Edge-Holding & Sharpness" of your different knives ???

Like many of you (us?) I own more than 20 pocket and sheath knives that I use for everyday carry in some cases, and others primarily for hunting/fishing.

Surprisingly some hold edges much moreso than others. What is more amazing is that it doesn't seem to relate to the cost of the knife. I am fortunate to own a few quality custom sheath knives, and several "name brand" pocket knives. And several others that would be considered run-of-the-mill.

My absolute best edgeholder is a single blade Schrade Old-Timer pocket knife. For whatever reason, it beats my Bucks, Gerbers Russells, and Randalls - which were more expensive. The others are good, and very acceptable, but the Schrade is by far the best. I have no idea why....
