And hurt the majority of us who have a limited budget or limited shills to sharpen super steels. Which could in turn make cutlery even more expensive than it already is. Steels like VG10 and budget steels will be phased out. Despite the fact there is a majority of more upscale steels available. My big fear is that companies will quit using budget steels due to constant customer outrage and social media influencers disdain for simpler steels. But handle material, ergonomics, tolerances, quality control, limited lifetime warranties. I just think some people today truly do not understand or appreciate the vast choices in not only steel selection. Something only those with good incomes could afford. I am only 49 and I can remember 440C being considered the top steel for knives. I wish I had VG10 in place of 440A or AUS 4. I just want to remind them the limited choices we had in past. The reason I brought up Cavemen and older generations is because I feel like some people today when they complain about more basic steels and scream that VG10 and 8CR13 MOV suck. i'm not going to trade my m390 manix to try flint knapping my own knife just because rocks are free and they were good enough for cavemen. i mean, even vg10 is better than what our grandparents carried, so maybe we shouldn't use that either. there's no reason to believe they wouldn't have wanted k390 or cruwear or lc200n (just for examples) in their pocket knife if it was available at the time. And to be fair, bringing up what cavemen used or what our parents and grandparents used is kind of irrelevant.
