Old Hickory knives, made by Ontario Knife, are carbon steel with walnut handles. The blades are stamped, the handles are riveted onto the blade with two brass rivets. The larger knives are full tang construction.
Available knives are paring, utility, slicer, butcher and cleaver.
Carbon steel is type of steel that all knives were made of in the 'old days.' Many feel carbon steel makes a superior knife, the slight advantage stainless steel has over carbon steel is less upkeep. A carbon steel knife needs to be dried after using.
Compared to most stainless steels, carbon steel is easier to sharpen to a sharp edge, and carbon steel will hold this sharp edge longer than many stainless steels.
Old Hickory knives run $7 for a paring knife up to $24 for a cleaver.
