On a properly heat treated blade the steel should be flexible. You should be able to flex the edge of the blade and it should spring back to its original position. This is a sign of a good heat treatment. Here is a video where you can see just that.
This is one big knife. I had a request to make a sheath for a knife and I said sure thing.

Don’t think I will be carrying around a knife of that size but hey, you can if you want!

David is really knowledgeable, and a great teacher! He takes time to personally answer each email. That is saying a lot for someone who gets over 400 e-mails a day, if he spent one minute reading and responding to each one that would be almost 7 hours a day! I would like to Thank Him for taking the time to work with me. Many people of His skill would charge a ton of money to put on a class, but […]
This may seem silly to some, but many others can attest to the fact that carrying a knife could save your life! Now I went around many years not carrying a knife, and I am still alive.
