Specifications: blade total: ? 145mm (tang 60mm, blade 85mm) included angle: 26 blade thickness ? 3.5mm Blade steel: AEB-L stainless steel Hardness: ? 61 HRC WHY stainless steel: Due to the upgraded process and heat-treating equipment, I started using stainless steel. Started with Aebl and similar steels in my kitchen knives series and after good use in my kitchen I quickly grew fond of them. CATRA edge retention tests performed by Dr. Larrin Thomas show that AEB-L outperforms 52100/100Cr6 in the edge retention test. Because the steel is stainless it keeps the edge corrosion to a minimum which really shows while working greenwood. The ease of sharpening is almost the same as my most popular 100Cr6.
