Hello All,
I'm not sure I've seen any low carbon clad Apex Ultra as of yet, so this blade might be a bit unique, perhaps not. It's a smaller piece of a march larger billet I rolled to get a sense of how thin I can roll my cores with my setup. The core on this blade measures .4mm thick, or .015", so I'm quite pleased overall.
This blade is very thin and effectively zero ground. On top of my usual finish treatment of loose abrasive, I also gave this blade a pretty extensive polishing with some tomae powder courtesy of my occasional collaborator and co-conspirator @KasumiJLA, leaving a very frosty looking finish on this blade.
I hope you like it!
Thanks for looking!
