favorite knife for kitchen work on fish and game

1983 in yokohama japan, I purchased a slicing knife made of Damascus forged blue steel and after 40 years it is still my favorite for prepping fish, fowl, prime rib. And I slice tomatoes paper thin. Every three/four separate uses I will pass it over a honing stone 2-3 swipes and it is ready to go. Because of the metallurgy it cannot be washed in a dish washer and must be dried well before storage to prevent rust. Razor Sharpe but not for torquing bones. It is a right handed knife, being beveled on one side, flat on the left side.
Current pricing in Japan is about 800 dollars. There appears to be a good used market in Japan with pricing at about 20% of new. I have ordered one through Etsy , a bit shorter used for the wife and should be here in a week.
I do not like stainless knives. They are good for butter slicing

Thought my Japanese knife was pretty solid, but it's stainless, so I guess I'll just throw it away now...

I thought I was boujee grabbing a Dexter.

It's Gastonesque. Gaston probably has the new Bench Made kitchen knife set.

Yeah, there’s only one kind of stainless so they’re all the same.

While there are many grades of stainless, they do have the same trait of being softer metals than the High carbon steel I was describing.

I have no idea what the carbon content of the steel you're describing is (do you?), but there are plenty of stainless compositions that have higher Rockwell numbers than common high carbon steels.
I have a mix and have zero problem with carbon blades in a kitchen (as opposed to a field or fishing knife) but it sounds like you don't know much about the various corrosion resistant steels that are available these days.

Sounds like you know it all, good luck to you buddy.

Nah, just more than the person who believes all corrosion resistant steels are soft and only good for cutting butter.

Seems like you might want to take a look at the carbon steel Sabatier chef's knives.

And all these years I thought my Dexter and Outdoor Edge were just fine for Fish and Deer.
