  • German stainless is generally known for being soft - have a Henckels 4star that I use for bashing shells, softer bone and things I don't want to subject harder knives to. First I've heard of German stainless being hard (and all things considered hard =/= wear resistant, and from my experience softer stainless is usually more annoying to sharpen..)

  • Ah ok, maybe I'm mistaken but I find it hard to sharpen and have to work it on a stone for quite a while before there is any appreciable effect.
