Thanked: 2591If you are asking about how they shave, I think there is none, but it is also a question if one prefer stainless or carbon or the steel type does not matter.

Thanked: 94It's both. Fridours have stainless steel and ice hardening.
I am not one of the steel gurus but I think ice hardening has more to do with controlling the size of the carbides (steel crystals) than anything else, because there are other easier methods of hardening steel.

I assume they mean that the steel is cryogenically frozen not "ice hardened." This doesn't make the steel harder but it does make it much more resistant to abrasion.

Thanked: 2591Hardness and abrasion resistance are two different characteristics of each steel.
White #2 steel can be taken to HRC 61 and still be easy to sharpen, stainless can be at HRC 58 and be tougher to deal with than white#2.
