I have one manganese and one that says best silver steel. I haven't seen Sheffield. I prefer the 86 Manganese one, but they are both excellent.

I did an image search. I've never heard of a 505, but saw that unlike the 504, it has no scrollwork on the spine. A plain spine.

Go to page three of this thread to see an example.

From what little I can find out from googling, silver steel is the term given to steel that has chromium added and the manganese steel has more manganese added. The chromium gave the steel that...

So, a relatively young company. Still don't see many for sale, just the same one or two on ebay that are way overpriced and no one is buying.

Thanks for posting that beautiful Bartmann. Does it say France on the tang?

Very nice. Did you find your's needing a hone before you used it? Have you honed it and is it easy to hone? My edge feels like it will go on forever without need of touchup.

I have seen few Bartmann's posted in forums or for sale on ebay or in the BST or classifieds. I have a NOS Bartmann 86 15/16 High Class Manganese Steel that was shave ready out of the box and is my...
