Dale,

Really like that Santoku. What's the material type and thickness?

I'm just about to place an order for some wider material so I can attempt some kitchen knives.

Jeff,

The Santoku was done with 1/4" 154 to give it some heft for chopping. If I recall I think I cut it from 2" stock. It's a 7" blade. The boning knife and paring knife were cut from AEBL which I really like for kitchen knives as it has a ton of excellent cutting properties that I like. It takes and holds a razor sharp edge, sharpens easily, flexes well and is very stainless.

Dale,

What do you think of 154cm for kitchen knives?

Thanks for the info on the santoku.

154 is like the Toyota of knife steels. It basically just does everything right. It holds an edge extremely well. It sharpens easily, it's stainless. It flexes well. It's got good durability. It doesn't chip easily. Very hard not to like it in the field or in the kitchen. I like some of the other steels very well also like AEBL, but 154 is tried and true and I can't get AEBL in anything thicker than 1/8".

There will be guys that wanna argue about better edge holding from other steels. I don't mind touching up a blade every now and again and it's very easy to touch up 154 or AEBL without much skill.
