Hi there everybody,
I have a F1 3G which has been used for a couple of weeks to do some light works (nothing special, just split some soft and dead wood, made some tinder, prepared some food and cut some ropes), but incredibly the blade deformed in some points.
The marks are very little, but still, it deformed! I don't think they are chips, but surely this seemed strange for me, as I didn't abuse of the knife and for what I know the F1 3G blade is very very hard (62 HRC), but it is also supposed to be very very tough at the same time, so this fact quite annoys me...
the knife is still very very sharp (not hair shaving...).
Question is: what is now the best way to properly restore the blade and remove the deformations? Do I need to send it to Fallkniven or can I do it myself?
I've already ordered a Fallkniven DC4 sharpening stone and some 3M Wetordry Sand papers (from 200 to 2000 grit) and they are on their way to my place.
thanks guys!
