This group if dedicated for the knife users/collectors that prefer Carbon Steel to the newer "Super Steels" and Stainless Steels that are used more and more these days-CV, 1095, or any other.
I agree with the others, Carbon is not only easier to sharpen, but will give ya a CRAZY sharp edge. What I have found is there is a trade off. Carbon wont stay sharp as long as the stainless does. But thats a trade off I dont mind.
As a knife maker I prefer carbon steel 10 to 1 Yet I do offer both types.

I agree also Randy, I think the best steel for knives is carbon steel. I love your work, they are really nice knives.

Thank Robert. I love Carbon as well and up until just recently it has been my mail steel. I have started offering some stainless for kitchen use.
Heres one of my latest neck knife I carry one everywhere and always.
