This is a honesuki that was made from CPM-154. Cpm-154 is a high grade American made stainless steel. This steel has been heat treated to 62HRC. The handle on this knife is Tiffany blue G10 from Pops knife supply. I used stainless steel corby bolts to fasten the scales to the tang. This knife was based on a traditional honesuki with some modern twists.

This steel is known for taking a very keen edge as well as being easily stropped back to that keen edge. It is also known for it’s toughness. The steel has been heat treated to around 64hrc.
