Do you know what steel Forschner uses in the Filet knife?
Sure don't, Don. They don't brag about it much. Probably much like our humble 440A or 440B, I would expect. Hardness is reported to be around 56 R"c".
It responds well to a honing steel, and you definitely want to keep one handy. A ceramic stone works very well, too, for quick touch-ups. I often carry a single ceramic "triangle hone" with me, from my Spyderco Sharpmaker, for that purpose.
