And sleipner isn't stainless correct?
it cracks me up about some steel snobs. What difference does it make if the knife is not going to be used????
Ats-34 stores just as well in a safe as infi or the new super steels................:d
Check out the LionSteel catalog: http://www.lionsteel.it/n/pdf/en/lionsteel_2013_catalogue.pdf
Their steels are on the last page.
According to Gianni their top steel is Sleipner which although not stainless has good corrosion resistance. It's a great tool steel. For stainless they now use mostly Niolox which is also a tool steel.
I confirm that Sleipner is the best steel we have ever used. We would like to introduce this steel in all our range of knives, of course it is not easy, not all the customers know it... never know in the future, step by step.
