  1. Notice a pattern here, the old it is, the heavier it is and the more over build and stronger it is.

  2. OMG, look at porosity in that super cheap casting.

  3. The old hammer was used extensively so its structure was much stronger through work hardening. Also probably original steel was high carbon. It may also been forged. New hammer was new, made of maybe mid grade carbon steel, maybe a bit hardened. It shown to be quite ductile - so certainly not highly hardened. I would not be shocked if new hammer was at most 30 RHA and old hammer double that.

  4. Looks like old knife has hardest SS. Now melt them together and make some new knives.

  5. More or less similar performance of fake and original. If all other tests pass the same, fake is the way to go. Clearly original is very over priced!

  6. No issue on auctions. Lots of them around. I sold multiple ones and they went all for under $10. And that is CAD so like $8 USD.
