Custom blades 1084 steel taken to about a 600 grit. Edge torch hardened, triple tempered. Back left softer. Razor edge put on and individually tested.
1084 high carbon steel. Over all 7 inches long with 4 inch cutting edge. 1 ½ inches wide and 1/8th thick. This is a whale shape. End is his tail, etched whale eye, nose, mouth. A little copper hammered in when forged for decoration. A KB Swhale 711 is the order code if inquiring $55
The test I put each blade thorough is .. to be able to cut a brass 3/8ths rod. I sharpen the rod to a point using the length of the knife. A second test I put the edge on the rod and beat the back with a hammer till the rod is cut in two. The blade can not snap, the back cannot dent, and the edge can not chip. Then must be able to cut a piece of paper in half without tearing. Past experience tells me if this test can be passed the blade will skin out a moose without re sharpening.
