Then your old toolmaker is either grossly uniformed or ignorant.

Now, now; no need to beat up on my old toolmaker! He’s not a knife maker by trade, but he’s the absolute finest toolmaker I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He’s made a number of knives himself and has put edges on my kitchen knives that would make most professional sharpeners blush. I consulted him and he gave me his best answers while qualifying them by advising me that he had not worked with many of the steels I mentioned.
So technically you could say that he’s uniformed and/or ignorant, but those are harsh words given that he never claimed to be an expert.
I’m the ignorant and uninformed one here; just trying to pick a good knife. To that end, I thank you for your input and will incorporate it into my ever increasing knife knowledge base.
