I had my new knife. Now I wanted to give it a name. The shape eminded me of something...what was it?

The Kotetsu

Japan's first ironclad ship. Her name means, literally, "Ironclad." The Kotetsu had a very unusual bow. It looks like my knife.And the Kotetsu was the first in her class, and she used a pioneering, "cutting-edge" design - just like my knife.

The Kotetsu was formidable - just like my knife. And the Kotetsu was ironclad - somewhat like my knife. My knife is actually steel clad with steel. Inside I put SG-2 stainless powder steel. Outside, I have clad it with stainless steel sides. This 2-steel combination is easier to sharpen, and it keeps its edge better, and it resists damage better.
