A knife that stays SHARPER, L O N G E R.
What is SHARP?
Several of factors that go into the sharpness of a knife edge. In simplified terms the more acute the angle of the edge, the sharper the knife. So a 16 degree angle will be sharper than a 20 degree angle. Harder steels are better able to take on these smaller, keener angles. However harder steels tend to suffer from brittleness, meaning they take more care to maintain the edge.
Swedish DAMASTEEL RWL34 Powdered Steel is amazing steel that can to capitalize on the high alloy blend of metals perfectly melted together to create remarkably hard, strong and pure steel with a 61 ±2 on the Rockwell Hardness Rating.
