rostfrei?

[skidmark72]

I have a nice knife made by hen and rooster and it says rostfrei on the blade does that mean rust free? Stainless? Thanks

Yes. Rust free. It was stamped on knives in Germany and nearby countries

Stainless
Rostfrei
Inox

H1 is rust-free for ordinary human purposes. ATS34, for example, is merely stainless.

Yo mon, don be fooled by that imitation steel. This post had it down as the best steel you can get. The real rostta-frei steel from Jamaica. Do your search for the truth!

Many times I have been to the forums and always I see everyone say "this steel is better" or "that steel is the best" and every time it just make me laugh. Many people say Japanese steel is good and other people say American steel is better. It is time that the world once and for all should know the truth: The best steel in the world is from Jamaica and it is called Rosta-Frei Steel.

Now I know you going to say " yeah, yeah, sure,sure, what makes this Rosta-Frei Steel so much better than the rest?" Well I tell you….

First of all, EVERYONE in Jamaica use this steel in their blades. Everyone say that Rosta-Frei is #1! We use Rosta-Frei Steel to cut our vegetables and fruits. We use Rosta-Frei Steel to cut our meat. We use Rosta-Frei Steel to cut our herbs in the fields. Ja Mon!

The reason why our steel cut so good is in the heat treat. We use special herbal process to treat our steel. What kind of herbs? I cannot tell you or it will not be a secret!

Everyday I try to give thanks. Thank you and God Bless!"]

Yes, it means "rust free". It is the German term for alloys that Americans would call "stainless".

(The American term is more accurate. The alloys "stain less", not "stain none".)

I find this thread one of the beautiful things about this forum; a simple question asked by one who just wants an answer and gets it with courtesy. :thumbup:

That's what I was gonna say

It says that on my swiss army knives too.

Mon. Rostfrei is goo-ood stuff, mon. I have a switch blade that is rostfrei. It's actually the best one I own.

If you are wondering about the "mon" comments, there is a very old thread that is a classic that dates back to 2002 or something. It periodically gets revived and folks have some fun with it.

Yes, "rust free".

In Dutch it's 'roest vrij' which means to imply it won't rust. More accurate of course would be rust resistant. Hilariously, we also call bullet proof vests 'kogel vrij' yes, you guessed it, bullet free!

Thank you for the early morning laughs. I almost forgot about that thread.

 

[Velitrius]

Spilled over into BFC Chat that evening... got better with the rum and cokes a-flowin'.

Victor-Inox.

As you may know, the brand from 1909 was "Victoria," for Mr. Elsener's mother. Some of the knives were also marked "Inox" for “inoxydable.”

In 1921, the name was changed to "Victorinox."
