Ten Bears, is Imperials the company who makes this version?
Yes that is Imperials knife shown above, they dont make it, only sell it, its imported.
Thats beautifull, did it or the dixie model come sharpened?
I had to cut a mud flap that got stuck up inside a wheel well. It cut it like butter, but the steel lacing dulled it
It was sharp, but not like it is now. I took the 35 degree edge down to 23degrees, and its now nasty sharp.
Ive had a standing bet, if you can put the point on your finger, and let go of the handle, if it does not cut right thru your finger, and stick to the table, you can have it. No one has taken me up on it yet. It has to do with the fact that I can slide it right though a one inch steak, with its own weight
Ive shown it to two different knife smiths, they both said the same thing. It was the finest blade anyone has walked in with.
