Ken - The blade on this one is CuMai from Dion Damascus. It has a 1095 core flanked by layers of copper and nickel with a 1095 jacket. The scales are Buffalo Horn with copper pins.Chris - that's NICE looking - tell us about the handle and blade. Is that blade San Mai? OR, perhaps go Mai? Looks like it might actually be 4 layers on each side with core? Tell us all about the knife.
Sando - what a blade! 26C3 one of my favorite steels and at 64Rc it's gonna be a slicer for sure. From the collection of blade I don't care which I get - I'll be happy
Thanks for the info - that's exactly what I thought it was from closeup view of the blade - well, I didn't know what the core was other than high carbon, but the copper 'n nickel is what I thought. My wife LOVES her copper. I've made a few CuMai blades for her. Even the folder she carries in her purse is CuMai blade.Ken - The blade on this one is CuMai from Dion Damascus.
