here is a description of what a friend of mine did to my badger, exact same as the bottom one.
"Day #2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok! yes I was a bit reluctant going into todays metal roof trials.
I had a piece of steel shed material leftover from a building job I did a couple of years ago. Tough stuff, and when cutting it on the job I used a special cutting wheel on my skill saw. Not a job for tin snips IMO.
Now I'm not the strongest guy, but probably thought I could drive the tip of the Badger in a inch or inch in a half. Sucker went in almost to the logo, and no doubt with a little more effort on my part, I could of put it all the way to the handle. Decided to use the axe handle again, and cut a line in the metal another 12" with little effort. Tried to use most of the blade in doing that. My thinking it's going to have some nicks in the edge, especially up close by the tip. Yep! I was right, or thought so anyway. A really bad one up by the tip. Blade still felt fairly sharp, so decided to see what it would do on the cardboard again. No problem there.
Dam! too bad about the nicks, and I'm off to my room to resharpen, and clean up the blade. Put my head loop to take a closer look at the blade, and discovered what I though were nicks, was the transfer of tin from the shed materal. Well you Hogs aren't surprised I guess, but this ol' Kentucky boy sure was. I'm a little at lost for reasonable ideas, before the execution by firing squad next week. Got any suggestions?
