I've had my eye on the single blade Sow for a while now. Sooner or later one will call out to me loud enough.
Howard, you sure are bringing back memories. I remember sitting in front of our floor model radio as I was growing up listening to the Lone Ranger. It was my favorite program. It was about three feet tall with a wood cabinet. Obviously just an AM radio with vacuum tubes. I remember the family sitting around listening to it and eating popcorn.
Jean-Francois that is a mighty fine lookin Copperlock!
Charles, if you find one, it'll probably still be getting 1930s-1940s radio stations. Wow! Glenn Miller on Armed Forces Radio! The Shadow, the Bickersons, The Loooone Ranger.
Howard, I would still be listening to vacuum tube radios! LOL
Hahahaha. Well, the best stainless has high carbon. CPM-3V (.8C), 154CM (1.05C), BG-42 (1.15C). [1095 (.9-1.03C)]. So, a bunch of "stainless" has essentially 1095 carbon in it. And, after a few years your stainless blade looks better than you do (not a bad thing in my case). Eventually, 1095 needs cosmetic surgery to look good. I know 1095 tugs at the heartstrings of some, but if we didn't move on to bigger and better we would still be listening to cassettes or 8-tracks, and transistor radios.
I agree with Ron.
Howard....
Stainless is so cold, lifeless and if heated up too hot may or may not return to its original shape. Carbon steel is warm, beautiful and dependable. Unique in its own way. Yes carbon steel needs a little more attention and loving care but the rewards are worth it. I love my carbon steel Case knives.
