Title: Best high carbon boning knife available??
Post by: jrebel on September 25, 2016, 06:36:16 PM

I need to update a few of my butcher knives and am looking for a really nice high carbon boning knife.  What do you guys use / reccomend?  I have a really nice one know, but it is a pain to sharpen as it is stainless steel.  Also reccomendations on a good steel? 

Thanks

The last couple of seasons  I've been using Benchmade stuff and it has been well to me. They hold there edge really well.

You can spend $2K on a good Japanese knife. One of my neighbors makes beautiful knives. Check him out. He also has videos on the site showing how he makes them. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100012092919135&fref=nf

I don't know about the best high carbon, but I'll give a recommendation for best value:

These are a soft stainless steel that gets super sharp, and they keep an edge well enough to butcher a deer without stopping to sharpen.

For general advice though: find the type of steel used when you're looking at a knife. Expensive and cheap knives are often made of the same material. Look up the characteristics of the steel used to decide if it will work for you.

This is also a decent value, German steel, and better price.

Cash-n-Carry is where I got mine. 

Otherwise, my Henckles blades are nearly 20 years old and still hold a great edge.  But I wouldn't be settling, if the above was all I had.
