    Starting in mid to late April we'll have on hand CPM-154 blanks for all current Martell knife configurations. Rc 61-62 with cryo. This heat treat is pushing this steel to the max performance.

    Now we can offer carbon & stainless knives in either western or wa configurations. [​IMG]

    I wish I had one of your gyutos, Dave. If I could turn back the hands of time.... :)

    I'd still choose O1, but CPM-154 is great stuff, and sometimes stainless is actually a bit better for the job. There, I said it.

    It's hard for us carbon guys to embrace stainless, I get it Tom. :)

    I forgot to post that I have the blanks here, for about a week now I'd guess. This represents one sheet of CPM-154....
