That's some pretty knives. You have that right, wash and dry, fast...Ha..Ha.. The carbon knives can really take a great edge.

Top knife is an Ontario. Middle is a Case XX. Bottom has no name but is sharper than any knife I own. Now I'm off to clean them still tryin to teach the girlfriend how to care for carbon knives and cast iron skillets.

Hey Freddy, that's some nice Sheaths. I wish some of our members would realize they can buy a new dress for their favorite knife. I have gotten several new sheaths for some of my favorites knives, over the years.

I think 1095 has more carbon, than 1070. It has .95 carbon content. It's easy to sharpen and really holds a good edge. I like it alot. Another fine carbon steel is 5160 or what is called spring steel. One of my favorite knives is hammer forged vintage Studebacker springs. You may want to try different carbon steels to see the one you like best.

Well sir. This is like personal opinion like. What is the best candy bar that Hershey makes?   Yet from my perspective. There are MANY steel that harden to a higher RC then 1070.  OK so let me explain  1070 is good steel. and has about 70 points of carbon in the steel. Carbon levels do in this case effect the total RC and hardenability of the steel.    There are many steels that have higher carbon levels  They also have more carbide forming elements in them. Most tool steels for example are high carbon. but have other alloying elements in the mix like cobalt, and molybdenum, and chromium, to name just a few..  These added elements do many things. some will give a better edge retention, others add hardness to get a higher RC. etc.  I currently am testing a few High Carbon steels that have some of the sickest numbers and will be on the higher end of what is possible to be used as a serviceable knife steel.  This stuff I have dubbed STEELZILLA!   . Its got a carbon content over 2.0 where 1070 is a carbon of .70

Of all the types carbon out there which one is the better for hardness and edge retention? From what I have read 1070 seems to be topping the list But, I have seen some other types of carbon listed. So what do ya'll prefer in carbon and why Thanks
