I have been using a set of ESEE / Ethan Becker kitchen knives that I like a lot. Randy, what knives does your Chef use?
Sorry ray, I just looked. The blade steel is: X50CrMoV15 is the most used type of stainless steel for kitchen knives by, amongst others, German manufacturers. It is a good type of steel for a very large audience. The corrosion resistance is very good and the cutting qualities are great.
