Comment by Jan Carter on November 21, 2012 at 17:15: So, how many of us use a carbon steel to carve our holiday dinner with?

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on November 20, 2012 at 0:41: I now have a carbon steel fetish. I've been carrying my Case peanut lately. It has stainless blades. It feels weird to carry it. I'm ordering a Case CV Peanut:)

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on November 12, 2012 at 16:50: Any more carbon steel converts?

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on September 1, 2012 at 15:08: The only carbon steel knives I used, before now, was scout knives back in the 50's and 60's when I was in the Scouts. I remember carving a wood neckerchief slide. Gee, I wish I had those old Scout knives now!!

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on August 31, 2012 at 20:14: No, Craig, I've been crazy about carbon steel since 1962. I was 12 years old and loved the knives my old grand paw gave me.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on August 26, 2012 at 2:37: I'm REALLY enjoying my carbon steel knives!!! Both pocket and kitchen. And I never thought I'd say that!

Now, when I look at knives at the dealers online, I see it says "Stainless" and I think "Ooo, I don't want that! Where's the carbon steel version?!"

What's this world coming to....Me, crazy over carbon steel.........instead of just crazy.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on August 24, 2012 at 17:02: Our new kitchen knives are starting to get the beautiful blues and purples on the blades. Getting that "Pioneer" look!!
