I am no sort of expert, connoisseur, or collector of knives, but have been thinking of ordering a Case medium stockman pocketknife. (Shepherd Hills Cutlery has been recommended to me for good prices and service.) The one I really like--this one--has chrome vanadium steel, as opposed to the stainless steel that Case uses for most of their knives. Practically speaking, what would be the difference?

Thanks much for any thoughts you may have.
