That is really cool and aside from the size of the individual strands in a modern cable being much smaller, twisted steel rods were long a favored material for making blades!
I looked at some of his knives and they look really nice...

Perhaps it is a good knife.
But with that much of the stranded composition still in evidence. You can not help but wonder if it has been properly hardened or not. Steel towing cables are made from very mild steel as they have to be flexible.

Will it pass the “Forged In Fire” pallet hack test?

Anybody know what kind of alloy tank tow cable is made from?

I knew a person who used to make knives out of old lawnmower blades.

Pretty to look at, and a cool presentation piece, but I'd be leery of using it with those apparent weld cracks. Doesn't look like he got a solid billet in the forging process.

The underfills would certainly be concerning, but, unless cracks are present, the blade should holh ip well.

I really like the looks the strands give the blade, how is the heat treating is it easy to keep sharp?
