As you can imagine from the price, it is one of those crappy JUNK knife. But because of it’s price, I bought 2 of them, thinking of using it as law material for some project.
Back to home and start observing the knife, and noticed that the blade is actually carbon steel, and hardened harder than Opinel blade.
This, I have to sharpen it properly and test, so I did…
Sharpened it to razor sharp and it took the good edge. So took it out to my garden work to cut raspberry bushes.
Managed to cut all this without any visible damage to the edge.
So I have put it under the microscope…
100x-200x magnifications…
I see no damages.
200x-300x magnifications…
Found tiny chipping on most used part of edge…
This is a case of “Cats hide their claws”. Unfortunately, this knife has horrible fittings that do not work properly as a folder, so I need to re-fit it.
Took everything a part and start fixing the problems. This is going to be an exiting project!! And good project for me to understand the construction of multi-bladed folder knives.
