Is stainless steel to hard to sharpen?
There are many types of stainless steels used in the creation of knives. Some can be difficult to sharpen once it has dulled. We here at Gertens Forge realize the frustration felt by a knife owner when they run into this problem. We use mostly ATS-34 and 6A stainless,,,which when heat treated and tempered right, can be re-sharpened by most people.. We try to hit a happy medium between hardness and the ease of being able to keep a keen edge on your blade. We also offer sharpening of your Gerten blade should you so desire, free of charge to you other than the cost of shipping and handling.
