Carving Knife Set

Kevin,
All the knives in the Rosewood Collection are made from Stainless Steel - most likely 420.
 
Oh, I see. Hmm, that's too bad.

Kevin,
Have you ever tried and 420HC in kitchen cutlery? Actually @ 58 Rc, it is harder than most "German Mystery Steel" in the big name European chef's knives. 420HC is very ductile, so we have very little trouble with chipping or broken tips, even at that high Rc. Tell me you don't like the blade shape, or tell me you don't like the handles, but don't knock the blade material, because its as good or better than 95% of the other kitchen cutlery sets out there costing as much or more than ours do.

Sorry for the soap box Kevin, but we have been working with a master chef on another project lately, and I have learned more about kitchen cutlery than I ever thought I would know. The main thing he has praised about our Rosewood Collection is the performance of our blade steel [420HC @ 58 Rc]. You would not believe how soft some 'big name' kitchen cutlery is!

Thanks for the interest!

No I have not tried 420HC in kitchen cutlery that I know of. As soon as I saw 420HC I think that it must be cheap or something. Perhaps my perception has been affected by all the talk of "higher end" steels in pocket knives. I currently have the Spyderco line on kitchen knives but was looking for a carving set.

It would be interesting to know more about the "German mystery" steels. I have asked Mike T. for a forum devoted to kitchen cutlery, but have had no reply as of yet.

Since you mentioned handles, wouldn't synthetic handles be more sanitary?
