I have been seeing some blades laminated with copper and had to give it a try. The outer layers are 15N20 and the core is 1095. I have no idea how this layup will work in a knife having questions about how will the copper effect edge holding when it is near the edge, when the blade starts to develop a patina how will it look, will the copper turn green, etc? So I am offering this knife at a good price if someone is willing to give it a try and would like to get back to me with opinions. And of course any failures with normal use (not abuse) can be returned for a full refund.
Three layer pattern weld with copper
15N20 laminated over 1095 and heat treated to Rc 58-60
The blade has been etched to a black finish
Flat grind
Stabilized curly maple handle

Blade:4 1/2 inches
Leather scabbard with a belt loop for a right hand carry
