So, like the tread title says, this is a question primarily for Chris, but any response is welcome. I posted this on the "Defective knife or bad finishing?"
thread, but I think Chris may not have looked at it. So here're my thoughts and question:
Okay, so I was thinking about the line that doesn't seem to follow the curvature of the blade and started to look on ebay at the Vulcan tantos listed, and a lot of them have a straight line as opposed to the line as seen on SOG's website that follows the curvature of the blade. Now, I'm no rocket scientist, but it seems that if you have 3 pieces of metal of constant thickness sandwiched together like the San Mai Vulcans, a curved grind should produce a curved line at the point of contrast between the metals. Like I said, I'm not rocket scientist, but my idea makes sense to me. Chris, if you could chime in and maybe tell us whats up with the funky straight line as opposed to the "curvey" lines that would be great!
I really like the way the Vulcan Tanto looks, but the straight line thing going on seems kinda weird to me.
Thanks!
