Very Special choice of materials, the very limited c105 pure carbon steel, this was made to insanely high spec, low impurity in the 1980s. It’s a very simple 1%carbon steel with no alloy, that thanks to its low impurity , moderate carbon content, is super fine carbide, and has exceptional toughness, this allows for my purpose it to be used extremely hard, in this case it will be pushing 66hrc, because it is such a simple steel sharpening is a joy even at full hardeness. This is the easiest steel I have ever used as far as easy sharpening, you can have a screaming sharp edge just off a 1k…. And this is the beauty of simple carbon steels.
The cladding is a Damascus from the c105 and wrought iron, making a nice low layer low carbon steel effectively , but with layers that contrast off the stones, no etching necessary.
The Forging is very extreme , it does not feel laser like though it holds some weight at 336g, no flex, It’s a beast with relatively thin geometry, enough meat in the bevel for control. Push cut dream machine, cabbage slayer ;)
Not essential but you will get more enjoyment from this knife if you have a nice mid grit JNat at least. Can advise if necessary.
