I make my knives scary sharp.
However, I get many questions from people that require knives with very special characteristics.
Here's the background:
Reindeer herders mark their calves in august by cutting off pieces of the calve's ears.
Each owner has his/her own pattern.
The problem is a scary sharp knife creates a cut that never stops bleeding, and in some instances the calf looses so much blood it is not possible to save it's life.
This is why the herders do not want a knife with a very fine and sharp edge, but still sharp enough to cut a precise pattern.
The knife must be sharp, but also tearing the tissue in order to make a surface with enough tissue fibres to make the wound heal up fast.
Reindeer herders ask me to sell them such a knife all the time.
So, how would you go about in order to sharpen a knife meeting the above mentioned requirements?
