Howard, I would still be listening to vacuum tube radios!  LOL

Hahahaha.  Well, the best stainless has high carbon.  CPM-3V (.8C), 154CM (1.05C), BG-42 (1.15C).  [1095 (.9-1.03C)].  So, a bunch of "stainless" has essentially 1095 carbon in it.  And, after a few years your stainless blade looks better than you do (not a bad thing in my case).  Eventually, 1095 needs cosmetic surgery to look good.  I know 1095 tugs at the heartstrings of some, but if we didn't move on to bigger and better we would still be listening to cassettes or 8-tracks, and transistor radios.

I agree with Ron.

Howard....

Stainless is so cold, lifeless and if heated up too hot may or may not return to its original shape.  Carbon steel is warm, beautiful and dependable.  Unique in its own way.  Yes carbon steel needs a little more attention and loving care but the rewards are worth it.  I love my carbon steel Case knives.

Speaking of CV..........new from Case........Mini Copperlock in CV.  Have they ever made a Copperlock or Mini Copperlock in CV before, I can't remember.

I appreciate carbon steel nowadays. Never used to. That being said I still lean towards stainless. But if Case has a knife I can't live without, and it's in CV, that's fine with me.

I love an old carbon steel knife that has taken on a great patina. It seems to have improved with age and has taken on a new beauty all it's on.

Clint what you say is so true! With a little steel work a carbon steel beginning to dull can be returned to original edge. The down side is that those old blades lacked thickness and would flake if you worked them too much with a stone. At least the blades I'm thinking of are the early tested and before. Here poted is an example.
