My Ontario Hell's Belle is brand new and I want to make it my bitch. I'm used to old carbon steel knives, this one is so shiny ,new, and pretty, and expensive (to me ), that I can't bring myself to start using it. Is there a technique to breaking in a large shiny, stainless knife, and when you guys say the metal is soft, how soft, is it going to bend if I use it as my outdoor knife, will that tip break off easily? Any advice? I like a knife to look well used, but not weirdly marred, and scratched in grotesque ways.
