That's right. That's what I was thinking. That's a great company by the way....I always sit and drool over their catalogue.

That is new to me, I was always told by knife makers that one can't just go to Hitachi and buy from them like one can go to Uddeholm or Crucible and buy from them direct. Originally Posted by Bruno

That might be true. But "Mehr als werkzeuge" as they are called nowadays have Blue, white, VG-10 (in laminates) and SG2 (in laminates) steel available. All materials that can't "normally" be obtained by the common man.
And they're not priced beyond belief either

Dedox,
I'm intrigued. What's on your mind? Are you a bladesmith? What kind of knife are you thinking about?Last edited by Bruno; 02-06-2013 at 06:16 AM.

Then you have all you need to find out how it will go. The steel will tell you as you work it. Good luck.

Forge on, my good man. I can't wait to see the result. I have two Carter knives: one White Steel #1 neck knife (laminated with stainless steel) and a small funayuki in Aogami Super, laminated with stainless. The neck knife is my constant companion. I can't tell you how much my everyday life has improved by having this thing around. From opening mail, boxes, CD's, packages, etc., to cutting a few tastes off some ribs on the grill, to pruning, you name it, this neck knife serves me well. Originally Posted by dedox
