Thanked: 346
I got one of them :-)
The old no-stainless rule I think came about because stainless hones differently from carbon steel. Nowadays this isn't as big a deal because we're used to it, but I suspect it came as a real shock when they were first introduced.
They are a little trickier to hone, but the edge lasts longer. A bigger deal is that stainless feels (and sounds) a little scratchier on your face than carbon steel - the "sounds" bit is probably more significant IMO.
I think the Henckels Friodurs are better than my Puma INOX though.
