Any sharp knife can cut through bone. There is no magic edge, no magic steel, no magic blade, just some techniques and materials that work better for some jobs than others.

Any idea what bevel he was talking about? My best guess is that he was talking about the secondary bevel where the sharpening takes place. Chef's Choice electric sharpeners do a 3 level bevel they call a Trizor edge, i.e., instead of two bevels leading to the edge they use 3. In effect, it's like you start to grind the secondary bevel at some angle like maybe 19 degrees but before you get it all the way down to the edge you change to a blunter angle like 25 degrees. This creates an edge that will cut almost like a fine angle but with more of the durability of a more blunt angle. In short, it won't chip out if you hit a bone with it.

Or, he could mean the primary angle in which case we call that a shive and, in prison, they could cut through bone.

Or, he might mean the blade has 3 sharpened sections on it like the main edge, a sharpened false edge on the clip, and another edge on the spine. In that case that knife would be known as a complete hazard to any and all that come in contact with it.

Vic: always be prepared to receive a convoluted, smart@$$ed answer like this to any story of a legendary blade that was once seen by your brother's girlfriend's father's cousin's uncle. Sorry. It's just an edge, try it on your hunting knife. You might like it.....
