Ariel, most beautiful work. About how hard did you temper the cable Damascus ? Will it take and hold a keen edge ? i.e. would this beautiful knife also be a superior user knife ?

Joe,

I guess it should be 56-58, I take it to 850C in the oven and then quench it on oil.
It takes a mean edge and you can retouch it in no time, as with a regular carbon steel. I've made many knives with this cable steel and many of my clients use them regularly as camp knived, edc, etc. I make a knife first and a looker second :)
