In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on January 16, 2013 at 20:10: I'm still here, Craig. I love carbon steel. The ones that are hammer forged are my favorite.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on January 16, 2013 at 17:47: Any other carbon steel folks out there................?

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on December 6, 2012 at 18:36: Did you ever notice....when you're polishing carbon steel, you can smell it? I always noticed that. I can't say I can smell the steel when I polish stainless. Maybe I'm just nuts.

I'd like to see it!

Comment by Bill Harvey on December 4, 2012 at 18:18: BTW -did I tell youse guys about the fillet knife I made out'a a piece of metal strapping from a bunk of 2x4's at Home Depot? Als scary sharp, but I have no idea what kind;a steel strapping might be. Maybe 'spring steel"? Anyone know?

Comment by Bill Harvey on December 4, 2012 at 18:07: my chef's knives are vanadium -they stain, but CH is right about a scary sharp edge!. It don't necessarily last, (the edge), but easie enough to touch up out in the shop

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on December 4, 2012 at 16:56: Hey, I really like this Case Chrome Vanadium! I've never used a Case knife with CV! Takes a scary sharp edge, holds up good and touches up FAST!
