Howdy folks-
His talent is almost 'old news' around here, but I only just sent Siguy a blade to reprofile, my first of many I'm sure!
I received the blade back today, a JK kephart (4"). It's got some very appropriate new angles at the grind now, much better for general slicing/carving/cutting but still strong enough to handle heavy work. Even grind lines and a polished edge.
Took it out back today and it was making some very clean slices on fresh twigs/branches, handsome fuzzies, and still handled batoning cleanly.
I was never quite satisfied with how I reprofiled the handle (thinned it towards the rear), just because it cramped all my fingers together just a tad too much. Went ahead and lowered the drop some more and refinished the wood, so pics will come on board after it dries.
Anywho, another satisfied siguy customer. Send him your steel with confidence! :thumbup:
