Hello All,
Blade #2
One of my favourite PM steels, Zwear is extremely tough and wear resistant, holding its own against MagnaCut in every respect except corrosion resistance, but it practice it's quite rust resistant and barely patinas at all, it also comes with the added benefit of being very stone friendly for a vanadium bearing PM steel. I've gotten edges on Zwear with my Belgian Blue whetstone that easily rival those of any basic carbon steel.
Blade: 227mmx50.5mm Zwear (63-64hrc)~500 grit hand finish
Neck: 18mmx17mm
Handle: Bolivian Rosewood and Walnut, oil finished and waxed
POB: 34mm from the handle
Spine: 3.39mm at the handle, 2.7mm at halfway, .55mm 1cm from the tip
Grind: flat to convex RH bias
Weight: 165g
Relieved choil and spine
Edge: .15mm@1mm, .31mm@2mm, .53mm@5mm, .84mm@10mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint,
Asking $768 CAD equivalent (approx $565 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!
