What I like about 52100 high carbon steel in a kitchen knife is that it holds an excellent edge and is easily resharpened, I use a butcher's steel in my kitchen and just swipe it a few times to recover it to tomato cutting sharp. LIke all high carbon steels a patina will develop with use, especial when acidic foods are sliced. The hardness of 58-60 Rc is accomplished in my Evenheat furnace with special attention to a fine grain structure. I have flat ground the blade and given it a very slight convex shape: it slices. The handle is from a cherry burl that has been stabilized making it dishwater safe. Overall length is 7 1/2 inches with a blade of 3 1/2 inches
