    Loving the knife so far. I love the look of Damascus Steel. One suggest, though. Get you a work shop apron. There's many reason why you should have one. However, a fire resistant apron will keep your clothes from getting singe marks or even from catching on fire.

    @alexandermarken7639 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lovely looking knife, I am a chef and my only complaint is that these days in commercial Kitchens they really prefer having a full metal handle, this would have been perfect for that. Another interesting point is that High Carbon steel is fantastic for making durable knives that will need limited sharpening but the end up reacting to the acids in food too easily and are again rejected from commercial kitchens due to this. As a presentation knife that is able to be used it's going to be great but limited for Commercial use.

    • @mndlessdrwer
      @mndlessdrwer 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's fantastic for protein disassembly as it is somewhat more chip resistant compared to high carbide stainless steels and the fat and low acid environment in that application is great for preventing the need for patination to avoid staining the food. Still a good idea to avoid onions and fruits unless you want to patinate it first, which seems a shame for a knife with such pretty patterning. The coffee bath will serve as a measure of corrosion prevention, which precludes the need for patination to a certain degree, but it isn't immunity like just going for stainless. I've used some high carbon steel knives before and they do cut differently than their stainless counterparts, so there is a reason why some purists will just deal with having a funny colored knife with the patination from cutting up some sacrificial onions in order to be able to use their preferred knife steels. I find that high carbon steel knives just keep their edge for longer while only needing a hone compared to stainless. Something about how the martensite and cementite formations are formed in the steel is different than how the carbides form in stainless allows the fine burr at the edge to plastically deform without being removed during use. Even when you strop away that burr, the edge is still more resilient and can be realigned more readily.

  • @mndlessdrwer
    @mndlessdrwer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad you decided to eliminate the full length bolster. They both impede sharpening and mess with the balance of the blade. I also think it looks better without it. Good choice all around and a nice way to save yourself the trouble of constantly trying to chase your lines.

    Please correct me if im mistaken: i saw in a video about hardness testing of steel that it is important to get the scale off first, otherwise you are testing the scale harness not the hardness of the steel underneath. But i personaly have very limited expierience with hardening myself (just did it twice a while ago).
