For me it’s always stainless because I’m in a marine environment most of the time but I can get a better edge on the carbon steel versions. I have a lovely set of stainless (Global) Japanese kitchen knives but struggle to get a good edge on them but give me a victorinox kitchen knife or pen knife and I can sharpen good enough to shave with.
A ceramic "steel" will yield an excellent edge on Global Japanese knives... provided the sharpening "angle of attack" is 15 deg. It's difficult to maintain the 15 deg...
Really like it. Like the saying, more fun to drive a slow car fast than driving a fast car slow, in this case it’s driving a slow motorcycle slow, i.e. its a very fun low speed cruiser to get you exploring the backcountry at a relaxing pace. Tractor like performance, that you don’t have to worry about dropping and then being able to pick up, unlike a big adventure bike, different application requiring a different mindset.
I love that kind of motorcycling. I think it’s gotten lost these day. Grew up with the Trial 70 and have a Monkey now, but really like that Trail. Perfect strapped to a Grenadier.
I have the Würth brand one, I don't venture outback without it
That is a stunning work of art! Wow! What is the handle material? Antler? Stabilized exotic wood species?
VERY cool!

Work in progress, should be ready by end of the summer to use for the good winter months ahead here.
