Top Shelf Knife

The H-1 steel is the only known material to be completely stain resistant. All steels rust, stain resistant steels much slower than carbon steel. This steel does not oxidize. Originally designed as a marine environment blade. It is easy to sharpen, however edge holding is quite durable. The H-1 steel tends to deform if abused (not recommended) but it does not chip out. The serrated edge is very efficient and effective cutting most any material. I bought this blade to try both the steel and the serrated grind. I am not disappointed. I've used this daily to make feather sticks and shavings to light a wood stove. I have plain edge knives that I like for that job, but I am impressed. I have only stropped (one side only) this and it is still sharp.
