Stock removal. I have several Hartsfield knives. Their ability to cut and hold an edge are unbelievable. Everyone in the family is a pleasure to talk to and work with. (Good article, Keith.)

I think you 've gotten the answer and the article is great. I just wanted to add that I find the Hartsfields a real pleasure to deal with. The family is one of the nicest in the business. I feel fortunate to count them as friends.
