Re Sharpened and put to the rope ...
First 20 slices were like a laser scalpel , scary sharp !
Then I felt a slight loss in cutting power , ( Edge Roll )
And sure enough , the edge had rolled at the 50 slice paper slice test ..
At 100 slices the roll was a little worse
At 150 slices the roll was , diminishing
At 200 slices the roll was , well I could not feel it .
At 250 slices , it was a fail . At the point where the roll was the worst , the edge had given up .
This was also the least sharp part of the blade .
The factory grind was not that even , and where the roll was the worst there was a small rise / lump / in the Scandi edge ...
And it took a lot of work to try and level things out ..
I did more work today to try and even things out ( getting close ) ...
Push come to shove , 250 is not a great performance .. Especially for D2 (?)
I have to say , that re sharpening to a true Scandi edge just made the knife a better cutter .
Even though it was hard work to get there and an extra 50 slices is ??????????????? ..
The mods to the sheath ( shown in the video ) , were well worth the effort . ( Even though I burned my finger tips a little )
Hmmmm , an average knife for the average money , and by no means perfect .
Knife for it's size is a little heavy , a little top heavy ( weight to the handle ) . Slices well enough , feels good in the hand ( except for the balance ) .. Some people might prefer more weight to the handle / hand .
I like the size , and the knife would have been better if lighter . There is a lot of steel for the size of the knife ( Crowbar ? )
Good size , over weight , average performance , average price , sheath needs work , can't really recommend it .
If you have to have one (?) ...
I watched too many reviews crowing about this knife and I have to really wonder (?) Why ?
