Scimiter kitchen knife making

[Johnny G]

Hi all, I am looking to make a large scimiter blade knife, also known as a steak knife by butchers. I have a stainless steel serving cart, can anyone educate me if this is a good steel to make the knife out of? Thanks in advance

I make lots of culinary knives. the serving cart is going to be to low in the carbon area to hold a good edge. I use the time tested stainless 440c for most of them ATS-34 for a step up in edge retention.. 440C balance of stain resistance, edge retention, and ease of sharpening is still hard to beat! even over the new S30V stainless that I love! for Knives that are going to the general public it is TOO hard to sharpen. If the knife is for you use S30V. www.rhinoknives.com
