differential edged out?

[cwdotson]

This question will probably come close to being a stupid one, but...anybody got an old differentially treated Rat, like the old BR or CT, and used the heck out of it and "eaten" up to the harmon?

I haven't seen one used that much, but I have seen one sharpened rather, er, interestingly. I wont say who, but the choil was nearly gone by the time he got done with it.

That is a damn good question! However, I highly doubt it. The edge is considerably harder than the rest of the knife, so with a proper sharpening you shouldn't have to grind too much steel. I have seen a bunch of Ratweilers missing a ton of the cutting edge and still have about 1/2'' of the harder differential steel remaining. You would have to use the knife every bloody day for years to go through that much steel! That being said, there certainly are some fanatics here...so I hope we find an answer!
