Nice looking knives but 56 HRC seems a little low? Not to mention that well known brand/steel: German High Carbon Steel. Has anyone used these knives before?

BknguyenI have the 7" veggie cleaver as well and I paid the base price for it on amazon plus international shipping. Haven't really used it for too long but I would probably try something else next time. My Global chefs and IKEA santoku get more usage. The shape of the edge digs into the board and leaves incomplete cuts at times as well. Only good for straight chopping, not rocking. Maybe the 6" cleaver doesn't have this problem as its edge seems straighter throughout. FYI, it is a high carbon steel because I can see a rainbow sheen to it. I got it mainly for the shape and the shoveling ability for Asian-style chopping-it is heavy but balanced for pinch grip. Just don't try chopping through bone with it!

DJDPAhh I see. I'd prefer to see exactly what steel it is myself, but oh well. Thanks for the input!

BknguyenFrom the images, you can see the blades are marked with 1.4116, which is also known as X50CrMoV15 or 420MoV. It's a widely used steel for kitchen cutlery. I have a Wustof and a Boker knife with this steel and they work just fine.
