@awlderpy stainless steel, but I don't have it at work so I cant tell you the grade now.
-
@awlderpy none at all. The internet says that the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup can do in a pinch. Does that sound like BS?
-
@awlderpy I bought it just because I wanted it, because Karambits are really cool. Even though its designed to be a self defense weapon, I'd like to at least use it for basic utility purposes.
-
@rarity well for utilitarian purposes it can be ok to use any slightly abrasive surface but it'll take a good while to get it nice and sharp. Steels and stones give you degrees more or less for finite point of sharpness.
-
@awlderpy maybe I'll invest in a whetstone then. Or maybe I'll spend more than $12 on a knife next time, heh
-
@rarity most knives don't come well sharpened especially through any medium where it'd have to be shipped.
-
@awlderpy I'd like one sharp enough to do that thing where they throw a tomato at the blade, and the tomato slices cleanly in half
-
@rarity well that's as much force as it is sharpness. A finite blade is what gives you the cut without said force. You'll need to practise knife-throwing for that.

@awlderpy started as an Indonesian implement for threshing rice, quickly adapted to a combat weapon and spread throughout southeast Asia.
