WOW!! I was at a knife and gun show a couple of months ago and I got a chance to talk to a "schooled" knife maker he happen to have a knife he did his journeyman test with (don't know if the story was BS or not) but the test was to hack through 2 2x4's, cut through a 1'' free hanging rope, and then bend the knife to a 90 degree angle without breaking, I picked up the 10+ inch bladed knife and that sucker was soooooo sharp you could set it on a piece of paper and it would cut through! I believe he said it was differentialy heat treated?
Now I am going to beat my DF to death this weekend!!
