James, thanks for the invite, I guess carbon steel is what started it all. I have an old one or two, I'll take a pic and post it.

James, thanks for the invite to this group. If one looks at my pix you will see several "Carbon Steel" knives as well as others. I like the old ones but I also have some specific patterns I selectively collect and there are several of these that are other material alloys because that is the only way they are offered.

Thanks for the invite, I'll post a few pics when I get the time. I like the carbon steels best, they have the 'look' that makes a knife a cherished item. Sort of like the wrinkles of life. Also gives me the excuse to get them out to care for them more often.

Thanks for the e-vite James, and yes I do prefer carbon steel but I guess  I prefer older stuff as a whole to newfangled high tech stuff. Will get pics of some carbon cutlery later, perhaps when the earth stops turning so darn fast. The days just seem to go by faster and faster as time goes by.

Mike.

I'll have to dig up some pics too .. I've some 100 yr old carbon steel that'll put todays cryo treated AUS8 to shame .. 'n will even hold it's own against some of Brownings 440C they were bringing in out of Japan in the mid 70's. Some old Waterville Cutlery Company that is simply amazing. 'n then last summer .. I dulled a file on an old Marble's Axe head. Both cases .. high carbon steel .. 'n damn tough !!!!
