Going to buy myself a Birthday present!

Cutting a tin can in half can be hell on some edges. On some of the other knives I've done this with, it has rolled the edge significantly, to the point where steeling it back straight wasn't possible. Same thing happens on some knives when cutting through wire. (I know there's no reason to cut a tin can in half. It was a curiosity at first, and this recent one was just to show someone it was possible with a pocket knife. Similarly, I know cutting wire is better suited for a wire cutter, but sometimes you just make do with the tools you have on hand.)

Agreed, it does tend to roll more than anything.

And after about 8 beers, cutting through one of the cans for fun becomes a fantastic reason
 
Update on birthday present to myself. My wife wants a new pair of those Australian boots so popular that I figured out a way to please her and get what I want also. For the price of these costly boots I'm going to order at the same time the ZT 0350, skyline folder and a leek. I haven't been married for almost thirty years without learning a few good tricks. This way we're both happy.
 
Well, my new 0350TS arrived today and the wife swipped it while I was out of the room. She says I have to wait till Thursday for my Bday. Gotta love her!
