Another knife to keep an eye out for is Forgecraft, long out of manufacture. These are unremarkable looking carbon steel -- watch out for rust! -- but run quite hard, RC 60 or 61 isn't uncommon. They take and hold an incredible edge with minimal work.
I have some Forgecraft knives. I like them a lot. Wife won't use them, she prefers her Henckels (wedding gift) when she's looking for a knife to leave in the sink, or throw into the dishwasher.
