I can tell you what *not* to buy... I had a CRKT pocketknife with a
stainless blade that someone gave me as a gift, and it dulled very
quickly.

I just lost it a week or so ago and gave up and bought a cheapo
Schrade from Tractor Supply. Haven't used it enough to assess how
long it keeps an edge, but it was razor sharp out of the box.
