Can you tell me what the exact steel type is? Like VG-10, 1080/84, 1095, etc?

There is not a universal grading for stainless steel in regards to cutlery. The Babish knives are 1.4116 German steel. The comparative most often used in U.S. cutlery circles would be 420HC which is which is used for cutlery, custom knives and surgical tools with the carbon factor it improves the hardness and offers wear and corrosion resistance.

What is the hardness of the steel, and what steel is it exactly? vg-10, aus-8, what? "high-carbon german steel" is applicable to so many things.

Does Andrew Rea use these knives?

Thank you for your interest in our Babish knives. Yes Andrew is using the knives that he helped design and that carry his brand.

For sharping purposes, whats the angle of the blade?

I read on the internet 17 to 20 degrees is the sharpening angle. But do your on research. I have not had to sharpen this knife.
