Haha its how I feel.
once I take some good photos, i will start using on chopping some wood, maybe some other things.
How do these satin finished hold up to hard use like batoning?

I got some really hard oak to test this on muahahahah.
I will say, this is about the most dull blade I've seen on a knife.
Suppose to be this dull? I'd compare it to an axe.
I don't need it slice paper, although my custom gobi in 01 slices paper easily and still doesn't roll or chip on oak. If I bring the infi steel to a thin edge, will this be an issue?

You shouldn't have a problem getting that thing to a hair popping edge...then I use a leather strop to keep em sharp. Great first blade man!

That sure got there quick, it just shipped out Monday. I am very glad to see it made it ok and Happy Birthday!
The factory edge on show knives usually is sharp, but not shaving sharp for some reason, yet they strop to shaving sharp pretty easily. I chop with the factory edge and take pics before edge work so I can gauge improvement in performance.

Shoulder removal will help it bite or go deeper more easily.

Thanks everyone!
Didn't have any time to chop any wood tonight, got a busy 2 weeks ahead of me. In that time I will do some sharpening and polishing at work (where I keep my stones).
Here's a size comparison of my work knives, about the same length but outweighs 3 of my chef knives (1 is not pictured, sujihiki similar to the gyuto).
I'll have this thing slicing wax paper in about a weeks time muahahaha
