In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 15, 2011 at 15:28: My first love in carbon steel was two knives. The first was an old Green River hunter and the second was a canoe with dark red jigged bone handles and the large blade was a spear point and the small one was a clip point. I have no idea what brand it was because of the patina and my memory. I loved those two knives. The game and fish that they went through, my, my, such old memories.

Comment by Jan Carter on June 14, 2011 at 18:20: The last time I used my fav Carbon steel was to open a special package on Sunday. When is the last time you used yours?

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 5, 2011 at 14:21: Hey, guys and gals, please post some of them Carbon Steel Knives.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 1, 2011 at 19:10: I thought I would let those that are unfamiliar with carbon steel knives see that you don't have to let them "turn" or develop a patina, that if you wish, you can keep them shiny as any stainless steel. The two knives in the picture are several years old, I use them five days a week, five months out the year, to clean a lot of big and small game animals and with a little extra trouble, I keep them shiny as a new nickle. I use a metal polish once in a while after heavy use and a metal protectant frequently and I have no trouble keeping them in this condition. If anyone wants to know the brands I use, just let me know.
