You need a CPK chopper 91bravo
Send me one then... The question is, will it out chop my almighty 1311? I haven't found anything yet that will. I have the edge thinned out and convexed, so it throws some mighty big chips! This BK&T Reinhardt I have right now, may just give it some competition...
It's amazing to see how great those knives look after spending 131 years under water!Here are some originals. Sank in 1857, and were recovered and preserved in 1988.
I highly recommend a visit to downtown KC, and the steamboat Arabia museum. View attachment 746117
They were deprived of oxygen. And once taken out, had to be deep frozen until preserved. It's am amazing story about an amazing family and a hard work story. The knife designs back then, are very similar to traditional knives today, 165 years later.It's amazing to see how great those knives look after spending 131 years under water!
