@@armaliteslungsentinal7352 just a note. Don't get hung up on steel when you see rope cutting. As I can do this with a unhardened piece of mild steel. It has more to do with edge geometry and how sharp the edge is also the angle of swing. 1095 will hold this edge well. But there are many other superior steels. Such as W2, 01, D2, and 52100 to name a few. Also lots of newer "super steels" used for blade making. If you get the chance. Check out ""Bladesport cutting competitions "". Great test of steel, heat treat and tempering, edge geometry, sharpness, edge holding ability, and user's accuracy.
What kind of steel is it made of?
This one is made of 1095 carbon steel. With a differential temper. So soft at the spine, and about as hard as a metal file at the edge.
@@tombrown879 Damn, alright good to know, thank you.
