Dunno why people would spend a lot on really expensive knives. It's all about how well you can sharpen.

Pic related..just touched up this cheap Buck knife made of bargain basement 420HC steel on the chromium oxide leather strop. Then plucked a few hairs from my head and touched the knife against a freestanding hair. If does this I know it's as sharp as any sane person can make a knife get.

I sharpen on belt sanders + strops. They produce as good if not superior results to whetstones. The pic speaks for itself.
