I've owned and used the Argali Carbon for a few years now. I've had it used on multiple animals before needing resharpening. That said as the saying goes it's easier to keep any knife (regardless of steel) sharp vs resharpening. Knives are Very personal (and I'm a knife guy - I own too many). I find the Argali Carbon is extremely well thought out for my needs in blade shape and size and while I typically am not a fan of skeletonized knives the G10 handle is very grippy and I like that I can stack my middle and ring fingers through the holes depending on the types of cuts I am making. Lastly however there is probably no Perfect knife for all things. I've been Highly interested in the sawtooth but for now my kill kit has the Argali Carbon and the Enzo Trapper in Elmax. All my other knives and there are too many as mentioned including Bark River are left at home. As a side note if you arent using Argali Game Bags - why not?!? LOL
