If forged better to use, Hitachi Aogami Super or Hitachi Shirogami #1 or Aogami #1 or if ground CPM-154, CPM-S35VN, CPM-D2, Elmax, Cowry X. This is from Stacy Apelt on Blade Forums...,he is a bladesmith and knows what he is talking about.

Bogartehey Bogarte, would you kindly provide a link to the info you're referring to? I did google it all and its super technical. if one were to buy a carbon kitchen knife like the ones in this drop, is it better to get a Kramer? or are there better and less expensive options? thanks!

HaraPuzoHead over to blade forums, there are lots of opinions over there. There are a lot of options out there from cheap to crazy expensive with good steel, a lot of the pricing is "fit and finish" as well as heat treatment of the knives more than the cost of the steel used.

HaraPuzoSure....but it is my coverman who collects knives. At 1 lb and 12 inches long....I can't mess with any of them. The technical information is beyond me. You will have to go to the Blade Forums: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1004621-Best-steel-for-chef-knife
