He also doesn't mention Rockwell or differential hand tempering-thus I can only assume they are hardened and tempered as a unit piece. Then drawn as a unit back to a ductile state in keeping with the lower RC in-service abilities of stainless.
If form follows function in wepaonry as art-they are right up there with the "stainless steel highlander sword" wall hangers.
In short-I'd pass.

Also what do people think of the smaller size "imperial guard" knives? The application would be a lot different wouldn't it? Why sell these as "deerhorn knives?".
Amazing design and look, if even for art value.
Interesting that someone would have a whole site devoted to making and selling versions of a single, unique baguazhang weapon! (Doesn't seem to have the biggest market now...)
