03.01.2022 The Steel These steels are machined with two tapers, the same as the Williams Pipe, Wilson and Henry Berry steels had years ago. I have had these antique steels chemically analyzed to find out what the steels alloy components were, so I could make a steel with higher quality materials my steels are made from a much higher quality material than the antique steels of years gone by. The type of steel material I use has a very high resistance to abrasive wear. It is a high carbo...n high chromium steel, it also has a higher hardness than the older type steels. This keeps the steel sharper for longer. The steel shaft has a flange on the handle end that has an internal and external radius to stop your knife from over traveling and hitting the guard. The flange is polished to prevent damage to the tip of the knife. The tang of the steel which is concealed in the handle has the type of material used to make the steel and the year it was produced stamped on it, for identification in the future. Steels can be made to order, lengths from 125mm to 350mm. Most popular lengths are 200, 300 and 350mm all steels have the double taper design feature these steels will sharpen all types of knives from scalpels to large steak knives, kitchen knives and filleting knives.
