Agree Outback, I’ve noted this too. I have several French framebacks and ‘acier fondue’ (pot steel) made before the Bessemer process and they’re every bit as good if not better than the best modern steels as far as taking and holding a razor edge. They remind me very much of TI C135 ‘carbon song’ or the best semi-modern Swedish steel (and they may be old Swedish, many were stamped Swedish steel) lol. The only thing that the ancients lacked was an advertising department.
