Hot damn! One month challenge! Damascus edition!

[Jacques Mi]

It's a pleasure following this thread. I'd wish that when the 1 month mark hits it's followed up with a little writing about the knifes performance and such.

Anyone have to do any edge maintenance beyond stropping?

Anyone have to do any edge maintenance beyond stropping?

That's all I had to do.. maybe once a week..

I'm in the light user class.. I sharpened mine once in the 2 months and also stropped.

I haven’t done anything. Couldn’t tell you when the knife had been sharpened before I started carrying it. For my uses a working edge is just fine. I don’t keep my knives razor sharp

Why you’re going abroad without a knife? Or you prefer to travel without checked luggage?

Late to the reply, but depending what country I'm going to knives can be considered a weapon or confiscated in customs. In those cases, I bring a leatherman and a small multi tool.

I was reading about Damascus on CRK website and they said they coat the blades. Interesting. I wonder why since reports seems to be they are pretty darn stainless
