Hello All,
As part of my pursuit of wootz steel I decided to do some experimenting with other alloys. This is one such. It's based on 52100, but enhanced to provide greater edge retention. This steel displays a very interesting dendritic pattern as a result of its method of manufacture, it isn't wootz, but follows a similar principle.
Blade: 215mmx54mm Crucible Steel (65+HRC) 600 grit hand finish + light etch to reveal the banding pattern
Neck: 19mmx17mm
Handle: leopardwood and Walnut, oil finished and waxed
POB: 18mm from the handle (above the heel)
Spine: 3.08mm at the handle, 2.18mm at halfway, .47mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: flat to convex RH bias
Weight: 157g
Relieved choil and spine
Edge: .15mm@1mm, .30mm@2mm, .49mm@5mm, .81mm@10mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint,
Asking $825 CAD equivalent (approx $600 U.S) + $30 U.S shipping. As always, if this blade is purchased in conjunction with another I will happily deduct the shipping off of the price of the other blade.
Thanks for looking!
