I assume if it had D2 steel, they'd advertise that fact. I have the D2 one and it lives up to the hype. This one is a handsome, functional looking knife. Assuming it has similar build quality, it'll be well worth 6 bucks. Knife enthusiasts get worked into a lather over different grades of blade steel, but ordinary consumers just buy the knife and use it. As long as the steel grade isn't outright awful and you educate/equip yourself how to properly sharpen a blade (sadly an essential yet increasingly rare skill), then type of steel isn't nearly as important as some people make it out to be.

Well isn't D2 harder to sharpen than many other steels? That being one of the qualities it is relevant in that sense, not as a steel snob but just as far as how well someone who isn't already good at sharpening can do it. And I understand if a steel is too soft that also makes it hard.

I'm a knife guy but not a knife enthusiast. You make good points. Sometimes a tool you care less about and is cheaper to replace is the better tool. I have various low quality but functional blades all over. They often get dull, but as to your point, if have a little know how you can sharpen them and they do the job just fine. I've sharpened things with rocks or on curbs in a pinch. When you're out in the yard that is where a $6 knife shines.

You got it backwards. Re-read my post. I was talking about blade sharpening in the context of knives that DON'T have D2 steel. Like the knife OP is talking about here.

Fine but I'm just trying to have an open discussion, stating that it can go both ways. We know steel is rated based on how easy it is to sharpen and I'm just saying according to those who seem to be in the know there can be different reasons on both ends of being too hard or too soft, not trying to contradict you just an open question of sharpening and skill vs steel, simple as that. I respect those with the skill but this is a $6 purchase so there's just a question of how much effort people are likely to invest given the price point.

Btw interesting that it's on bearings, not as essential since it also has thumbstuds which can always be slow rolled and not flipper only but those who like to fidget might be happy.

Edit: Assuming that is accurate. I think Walmart might have collated reviews that are not for this actual model as I found an old one indicating it's not on bearings. I also don't recall older ones given a name like Fathom so just to note.

OK, but I was staying on topic - a bargain knife that doesn't have D2 steel. An open discussion is fine but

please don't use it to take exception to a point I wasn't even trying to make.

I was just thinking of segue into sharpening bargain knives in general. It seems you are fairly knowledgeable and just thinking if sharpening can be an issue on either end of the spectrum then, especially for newbies without the level of skill it's gotta be a kind of balance. Some say one has to assume the ultra bargain OTs that doesn't list the steel as 3cr and that it would be difficult rolling with burrs and such. So maybe for those who are not experienced at sharpening, but do want to be able to maintain it fairly easily it's this matter of a sweet spot between bargain but ease of sharpening - perhaps just slightly more than this price but it seems hard to beat or meet six bucks.
