[QUOTE=Bill Harsey]Brad,
I'll assume your asking what steel this is and I don't know but I can ask the owner of Boker or his top knife designer over in Germany. Everyone knows what their competitor is doing.

I only knew the purpose of the Rockwell Hardness test, but now I know how it is done. Thanks. It would be interesting to know the type of steel but if it’s a hassle it’s don’t bother Bill. What I was trying to find out, while trying to sharpen it a few months ago, was whether it was a double or single bevel edge. I’ve had it for some three decades and don’t remember. Even looking through a magnifying glass it’s hard to tell. Reason for that is because I have tried sharpening both sides. I began wondering if maybe it was designed and made with a single edge.
