One of the reasons I have preferred carbon steel over stainless in the past is the ability to resharpen them easily.

If a blade is so hard that it resists becoming dull, then isn't it also more brittle and subject to breaking, and also wouldn't it resist easy resharpening?

Resharpening at home with time and convenience on your side may be great for a hard knife to sharpen, but easy retouching in the field appeals to me.
