Well, sharpened it up a bit and took it to camp with my last weekend. Unfortunately no camera with me, so no action shots. BUT, an after action report- I batoned up a bunch of kindling, chopped down a 5" thick tree, cut some branches off a felled tree, chopped and baroness more kindling (got to -20 degrees Fahrenheit at night and had to restart the fire more than once,) cut up some cardboard.
Got home and my wife carved a turkey with it. She LOVED how it cut. After all that wood chopping and cutting, the edge is still shaving sharp, literally (and proven.)
Finish did NOT hold up nearly as well as the edge.
