LngHngBD1N, is a nitrogen steel by carpenter. Nitrogen steels were originally created to give the highest corrosion resistance. Many companies have nitrogen steels, but very few are good for cutlery. Carpenter mixes liquid nitrogen in with the chromium before adding to the rest of the steel. This creates a new type of molecule which they call a nitride. These nitrides bond with the carbon molecule giving the steel more strength while at the same time making it stainless. Normally, chromiumWould weaken the steel. With the nitrogen process it ends up doing the exact opposite. We chose this steel because it had a 63 Rockwell and was incredibly tough. In the last 2 1/2 years we have shipped over 10,000 dragon knives and I've never had a single one come back. Ken Onion was so impressed by the steel, he has specked it for all of his future pocket knives. Is the man who is famous for starting Shun, and is responsible for launching VG10 and SG2 into the US market place, I can tell you that in the last 30 years I haven't seen the steel this exciting.

Deaomega1214Awesome, I'm in for the 10" chef knife and a paring knife. Where would I go to find the sheathes? I can't seem to find any option in the drop. And Thanks! I'm excited to try these out!

Deaomega1214Can you please elaborate (links, ideally)? I am also looking for the sheath/saya for (1) 10" chef's knife and (2) 6" utility knife. Thanks in advance!

Deaomega1214Many thanks. I was looking for a branded sheath, not a generic one, but if you say this works for your knife, I will go with it. Thanks again!
