Anyone here seen the "Bubba Blades"?
They look like they might not be horrible if you're looking for a cheap filet knife. However, some of the copy on the website is just straight hilarious. Thought some of you might particularly enjoy this portion:
"We looked into what kind of metal is used on the most expensive knives and discovered that not all stainless steel is created equally. There are many factors involved in steel-making, and you need high-end steel to keep a sharp edge on a knife.
After months of research, we went with 8CR13MOV. We feel that it is the best steel on the planet for what fishermen and hunters want. This is a high carbon stainless steel with a Rockwell rating for hardness of 56-58, which is typically found in much more expensive knives. Simply put, this steel is the best we could find that would hold a razor sharp edge longer and take an edge when resharpening it.
All Bubba Blades are sharpened by hand at the factory to razor sharpness. For good measure we coated the blade with a non stick surface that is bonded with Titanium that will help prevent rusting & pitting and let the meat slide off the blade effortlessly."
I guess I just never realized the magical properties of 8CR13MOV! Who knew all my inexpensive knives were actually using top of the line steels!
