| "Though not the general idea, I could imagine a blade made with a crystaline structure such that any damage would actually expose more "fractals" that are just as sharp as before. that is one of the selling points of depleted uranium over tungsten for armor-penetrating rounds; that it has more of a self-sharpening effect."

| ""Carbon steel" knives use a similar effect - as seen in "pro" industrial / army knives etc. The "dirty" edge composed of many small irregular elements is easy to sharpen (and easy to wear down), but gets much sharper than other knives (stainless). " ( 10/19/2010 1:02:48 AM ) |
