High Carbon Steel will be prone to rusting while the stainless steel will keep just fine. Usually the stainless is more expensive because it is a more expensive material and it has obvious benefits to prolonged used. Some have complained that these don't hold up well in salt water but I imagine that's a special application. Here in the Midwest mine has been a gem, very decent capable knife. Very popular knife amongst the bushcraft community and a very affordable one at that. It's not on par with a 100 dollar knife, don't use it for battening wood or beating on it and it will treat you right.

There are other stones too like India stones, or Arkansas whetstones...you want to hold the blade at approximately 22 degrees (half of 45, which is half of 90) and then start honing away. I'm no expert but that gets me a usable result! You gotta start somewhere, better to start on a $10 knife than say a $100 knife or a knife that is currently and actively being used in a survival scenario or on the job.
