Assorted pics

Humm... I'm pretty sure there were no imbedded nails. Didn't chop concrete with it either. My best guess is that I chopped into a wooden block is fire hardened with the edge too thin? :confused:

IIRC only 2-3 or so inches behind the tip is affected. Maybe this is not part of the sweet spot like I thought? :o
 
chop into the ground that is. I don't know about up in your neck of the woods Sarge but, we have a quite a bit of sand stone down here. Almost as bad as a hit on the grinder. I quit trying to chop close to the ground. There are too many small pieces of that sand stone all over the place.

Now I dig a bit around the trees that I have to get rid of and saw them close to the ground. Then use the khuks to limb the trunks. They still get a good work out.:)

They're all individuals.
I'm fascinated sometimes when I see several of a given type
(from HI, even during a given period, sometimes the same kami)
side by side.
There is so much variation!
And it's all good!
I want one of each.
 
Sarge, you liked your Bilton? I've been thinking about one of those. It also looks like a good first convex edge project.

A sturdy handforged knife, in a useful size, that's comfortable to carry, for only 35 bucks, you're kidding me ain't you Red? Get one with a wood handle, for some reason the kamis make those bigger on average than they do the horn handled Biltons.

Frank, send me your Bilton and I'll send it back with it's own reti-chakma and customized scabbard. Drop me an e-mail if interested.;)
