Doing a Cut Test with one of my students knives. We are using a pool noodle here, because the material is soft, yet resistant and will bend or simple fall over if the edge alignment isn't perfect. Also, the soft foam will capture visual evidence of any edge irregularities as you make the cut. A perfect cutting medium? No, not at all, however, for the cost, it's pretty damn good. #CutTest #HandMade #HandForged #HandForgedKnife #Art #Artist #MartialArts #MartialArtist #Testing
