Sorry to hear that, Charlie. Most all of my Dexters are over 40 years old and many of them are carbon steel. They seem to have a very broad product line. Glad I bought and inherited the old ones which of course are not NSF certified.. Mine have been well taken care of and one has been in my family for four generations.

6 knives for $58.50! (I'm not really going to bid on those, but maybe someone here would like them. I just thought it was neat when I did the search).

looks like 4 of those have the tapered blade edge. very fine. probably worth it
