Beautiful knives !

What kinda steel was used? How well do they hold an edge?

Very nice!
My father once had a beautiful knife made by a Swedish blacksmith who worked for Cominco. He made it from a forged and hammered roller bearing.
Then my brother lost it!

jeeper,
The steel is 1080 high carbon (not stainless). So these knives need a little TLC, but they will hold a great edge and aren't too hard to sharpen.

Here is a shot of them part way through construction:
