Well, I only have one so far. The steel is good: 440C stainless, but I think you can order different steel. Just ask José, he is easy to work with. The knife came very sharp, and I have not had to sharpen it yet. But I don't think it will be a problem.
Good luck!
 
440c is good in my book,i like it,love this style of knives,and will order vendetta and maybe one other spanish navaja.Their hunting knife in g10 seems pretty good too.Do they offer carbon steels too?How long did it take you to get the knife after ordering?

The best person to ask is José. You can contact him through his website, or, if you get a paid membership with BladeForums (only $10 for Basic), you could send him a private message.
As for how long to receive the knife after ordering, I am sure that varies. For me, I believe the knife was finished about ten days after I ordered, and it took about a week to reach me (from Spain to south Texas). Not bad, but I am sure experiences will vary, especially if he is very busy.
 
I agree with the above from Prester J.
My knife came sharp (440c), and I've not needed to sharpen it yet. Glad he offers stainless.
Shipping took a while, 10 days at least. I live in Maine.
His prices are very fair. Reach out to him via email on his website (I assume you have that info).
Jose's a real gentleman.
