djpaintlesRe: Boker CeraTitan . . .
Jiri, I was over at my buddies house tonight helping him setup his Tormek Knife sharpening machine. I tried it out on one of the CeraTitan Knives. I sharpened just fine on the Tormek machine. It was interesting that the edge didn't take the normal "mirror" finish that the Tormek and stropping will usually give a steel knife. The edge had the silver-grey finish that you see on the outside of the knives. It did however come out razor sharp. We tried it out on a nice piece of Beef Briskit and it cut very well. These knives might be something special. I'll let you know how the edge holds up......DJ

JiriIt is just interesting, titanim+silver and ceramic, sintereg together.
I belive the best result is with ceramic steel what I heard. If it will perform well on kitchen knives, it could be good for some smaller folders. I know toughness is not comparable to good steels but with smaller blade and on folder it could not be a problem. Also it is declared to be totally corrosion resistent . . .

JiriI am interested if anybody have any expirience with that. It looks pretty amazing, not as brittle as Ceramic but with near ceramic cutting properties.



What is your opinion about that ? It looks it will hold edge much longer than today top class steels.

djpaintlesJiri, My buddy just bought a set of Kitchen Cera-Titan Knives for his wife. I was pretty impressed with them. They were light as a feather. I used my normal strop and was able to improve the edge on them so I think that they will be sharpenable by normal methods. They are too new to need resharpening but I'll check back later when I've had a little more experience with them.......DJ
