I read that this can reach rc78 with a proper ht. can this be true? What would be the drawbacks of edging a blade in this? (besides price, it is around 600$/oz)
Still, high end knives can go for thousands, and half an oz of this is more than enough to laminate the edge of a moderate sized blade. Imagine a straight razor frameback with a cm at the edge of the blade made of this. All you'd need would be 1cm^3, which is 12.3g, or ~250$. I you're gonna sell it for 2000$ because it has a super durable platinum-family alloy edge, then it would be pretty worth it, if pd950 at rc78 a. Exists, and b. isnt as brittle as glass
