A place to discuss the collection of pocket knives by makers large or small, from the common to the custom. The pocket knife is a useful tool that has been with us for hundreds of years and it can be found in innumerable variations. If it can fold, fit in a pocket, and has a blade you can chat about it here.

Looking to get an EDC, but I'm not sure if I should get an H2 blade or AUS-8 (or comparable stainless) (self.pocketknife)

Corrosion resistance isn't a huge worry for me, H2 should be resistant enough. On one hand, H2 is gonna hold an edge quite well. However, once it dulls, it'll be hard to sharpen. And while AUS-8 will lose its edge more easily, it will be easier to re-sharpen. My question is, which steel do I go for? ty :)
