Please Note: This knife is made to order, and therefore takes 6 months to make and ship. Since each knife is hand made from unique materials, yours will be slightly different from the pictures shown of a previous knife I made.
“Thundercat Gold” 6in (150mm) Damascus petty knife. thundercat, Thundercat, THUNdercat GOOOLLDDD!!! This brilliant chef's blade harkens back to the grand old days of the Silver age of action toons. With this knife, revel in the power and might of having your own Thunderous companion: a column of black and gold leaf blade rests toward the bolster. A river of blood-red resin pours down before stopping and the butt of the knife where the clear polyresin showcases a golden cat skull. Eviservating incisors, strong jaw in at the peak of its bite. Includes sleek walnut saya shown.
The blade is made from VG10 core hardened to 60 HRC. Multiple layers of stainless are forged on both sides of the blade that protect the core and result in the Damascus layer pattern. VG10 is a high hardness stainless that doesn’t require the maintenance or care of a carbon steel. VG10 blades should be sharpened with a water stone, synthetic stone, or diamond. Do not use a honing steel on this blade. The edge angle is sharpened to 17 degrees and then stropped to a super sharp finish. The blade is 6” (150 mm) long, with a convex surface grind.⠀
