The set I received sharpens like Stainless Steel similar to my Misono UX10 (I believe they use Sandvik's 19C26) - i.e., flattening the bevel on the large kiridashi was not fun at all. Also, no sign of rust or patina like in high carbon steels. I suspect the maker offers high carbon (there’s evidence for that on the internet), but this set was stainless.
Has anyone else experienced similar impressions flattening the bevels on these?
