One of the kind !
Forged by William Catcheside from Catchesidecutlery and sharpened and polished by JNS
This cladding is made with many different materials
Wrought iron which was refined with some carbon steel, Canon iron, plain steel, and a good amount of pure iron, also some pure nickel.
This was twisted and put over a Vintage very low alloy steel c105 from Achim in Germany
William do mostly forged geometry blades and do not do full ground blades so this one he did only for JNS to sharpen and polish so much more material is used for this one
It got full convex grind with workhorse specs in mind Polished spine and choil, very very nice taper bulky at the handle Shigefusa like and tapers out nicely but not to thin
Steel is very crispy and super hard I have tested it fully before it made on Website
