Anyone have experience with Grohmann's stainless steel and plain carbon steel? The most I've been able to gather is that the stainless is 4110 and the carbon is C70, German steels that are roughly equivalent in their composition to 440A and 1070. Both are listed at 56-58 RC.
For activities from whittling and carving to splitting wood w/a baton, how do these steels fare in terms of edge-holding and general performance? I don't imagine toughness is really an issue for either, esp at ~57 RC, but perhaps someone can shed light on this, too. I'm thinking with regards to a model #1 or #2, but would be interested to hear about any models.
Thanks,
Glen
