For knives comprised of one steel clad in another, what goes into the decision-making process behind how much of the core steel is exposed?
Obviously, there needs to be enough of the outter steel to justify its inclusion, but how does a knife maker decide just how much core to expose? Are there utilitarian reasons? Is it just aesthetic? Could you, for instance, have a knife where the only exposed core steel is at the bevel?
