Hi folks -
I have had the pass-around scandi for a couple of weeks now.
I have cut up ribs, chicken, turkey, steak and generally used it as my kitchen knife.
Wednesday I made chicken tenders in lemon garlic basil butter, and I used the scandi to prepare the dish.
Tonight I took the knife on a different job.
I have been saving a large walking stick that I found while hunting mushrooms a couple of years ago - I think it is Elm. Fitting I think.
I have been planning on carving a morel onto the end of the stick, so I decided to try the scandi at this task.
I carved out the rough shape of the mushroom and I will finish the detail with my dremel tool, but here are pics of what I was able to do with the scandi in about 30 minutes.
I did a little chopping to shape the top of the mushroom.
Here is the finished rough-out of the mushroom. The scandi did very well at carving.
The knife would still push cut paper -
However, I did put some minor dings in the edge with the chopping of the stick. I don't think you can see them very well in this picture.
All in all, I really like the scandi grind, and I also have become an admirer of this little knife that Stomper designed to pass around - it is a great size and very useful.
I think the scandi grind is best not used for chopping, at least in a knife as small as the pass-around design.
Thanks to Stomper for allowing the pass around, and thanks to knifenut for re-shaping the scandi edge before sending it on to me.
best regards -
