This is the one I made two other blades for, and they both had inclusions in the steel. This one is going to Les Robertson.

Hardness: 59-60 RC

Blade length: 10"

Blade thickness: 1/4"

Thanks for looking!

I gotta ask: what is an inclusion?

I gotta ask: what is an inclusion?

An inclusion is a little piece of dirt or other junk that got mixed in with the steel when they melted and/or rolled it at the steel mill.

Thanks! Are you having a bad steel streak or what???!

That's a beauty! I know that you sold one of the inclusion knives, didn't realize you suffered two of them. What happened to the other? I could be tempted...

Such a clean knife! If you don't mind me asking, how do you hand finish your blades?

Beautiful work!!!
