Any knife nuts out there? Use the steel

They fold it, its multiple layers of different steel folded together that makes it so strong. They even have a sharper edge than the regular high carbon steel knives. high carbon steel knives have a 22 degree edge or something like that and the Damascus steel knifes are around 16 degrees.
Thank you

It's inevitable, Use boners for boning you'll need something bigger,
Finally explained so I can understand. proper tool and all,

Is it 7 degrees? Damn thats sharp

Nope, i lied, you were right:

Tamahagane Kyoto Damascus Stainless Knife series are quite high quality, extremely sharp, hard, and durable for professional use. The 63 Layers Damascus and it's beautiful design must impress you by the details of it's well calculated, meticulous design. The Core layer is VG-5, High Carbon Molybdenum Vanadium Steel, is enveloped by 31 layers of SUS410 (13 Chrome Stainless Steel) on one side with soft and hard stainless steel. The powdered steel contains a lot of carbon and has an unprecedented hardness of approximately 61 Rockwell.

Tamahagane Kyoto series are distinctive yet classic while fitting very comfortably in your hand. The edge of the blade is hand-finished (fine-grinded by hand) one by one with waterstones. The beveled edge features an angle between 14 and 15 degrees. Features an incredible mirror polish finish with perfect balance between sharpness and strength.

Its handle is so easy to grip and it's weight is very well balanced, that has the Metal Tsuba to fully seal between the blade and the handle, to keep the knife sanitary. The handle is corrosion resistant made from compressed laminated black wood.

Only downside of an edge this sharp is that you'd have to maintain it more than a regular high carbon steel German knife. You'd have to hand sharpen it on a wet stone and only a wet stone. I wouldn't dare put it in a knife sharpener and I know you wouldn't either.

It's hard to believe but the sharpest knives that have ever been used in recent years were mounted with stone flakes made of obsidian

Obsidian is used by some surgeons for scalpel blades, as well-crafted obsidian blades have a cutting edge many times sharper than high-quality steel surgical scalpels, the cutting edge of the blade being only about 3 nanometers thick.[34] Even the sharpest metal knife has a jagged, irregular blade when viewed under a strong enough microscope; when examined even under an electron microscope an obsidian blade is still smooth and even.

Good quality obsidian fractures down to single molecules which can produce a cutting edge 500 times sharper than the sharpest steel scalpel blade ("American Medical News", Nov. 2, 1984:21). On the cellular level an obsidian knife can cut between cells rather than tear the cells as a steel knife will do. A sharper cut will allow a wound to heal more rapidly with less scarring.

One study found that obsidian incisions produced narrower scars, fewer inflammatory cells, and less granulation tissue in a group of rats.

While they probably never practiced the art of surgery, our Paleolithic ancestors did use tools that have been extolled as more precise than the most modern metal scalpel.

Although very sharp the obsidian blade is very thin and cannot withstand lateral force on the blade. Surgeons must be very careful to cut only soft tissues with the obsidian scalpel. Attempting to cut or scrape bone could result in breakage, which could leave obsidian flakes inside the patient.

Yep, you know it. That's why I was talking about using it for the right thing, it's definitely not your clunker. And yeah whet stone for sure, like someone said above, a super fine grain

The only thing I know of obsidian is what my people used to use to hack peeps up to death

I have some obsidian but I haven't made anything with it yet. I'm still practicing flint knapping with the chert I have. I'm looking for some copper nails to make a pressure flaker for working with bottle glass.

Your moms ass stays sore from all the dicks it takes.
