Nenad the stainless SHOULD hold an edge longer, with the chromium added for hardness. There is one concern I have though. The stainless should be HT with a little less hardness to compensate for this. I feel it doesn't have the "give" that a carbon edge has ~ a bit brittle. I have noticed my Dovo INOX will be shave sharp for longer, but it seems to chip out microscopically very quickly and get's uncomfortable just about as quickly as a carbon, albeit for what I perceive to be a different reason. The carbon just gets dull, whereas with the INOX it is still sharp, only I'm raking microscopic nicks over my face. If I could soften it one or two points on the Rockwell scale it would be perfect. Just my layman opinion though.....thoughts? Man I wish Darrel would hurry up with the CPM prototype he's tinkering with. I think he's aiming for mid-upper 50's on hardness for this very reason. ......Jeff
