I have recieved my mammoth as well. Breathtaking. No pics sorry but im home again in a week and will post some then.
The bolsters are nickel silver so they will not patina.
I think you will be fine as you sharpen the knife. You may just have to file the kick a small bit as you go.
I am glad you like it. Mine has taken over my pocket rotation.
Excellent - thanks Jeff. I do have sandpaper and popsicle sticks. And I'll definitely go slowly. I'll also practice on a knife I don't care all that much about first...
Andy, sand paper wrapped around a popsickle stick would be even better than a file, something around 120 grit.
And go slooooooowly, and check often for how much it dropped the tip. You can't put metal back on . . .
good advice! Once it is gone, it is too late!
