I want to remind everyone how good Bos heat treat is. I have one of these in 3v in my shop that I tossed a quick cordwrap on and I beat the hell out of it. Everything from shotgunning a beer to cutting sandpaper and I have not had to touch it up yet !!
I talked to Chuck at Alpha (where I purchased the steel), and he told me to grind this stuff thin if you want to bring out the full potential. That I did ! I ground this one (and the shop knife) to around .007 and I feel that is the sweet spot for this steel.
