I wqas wondering what handle design you used. It looked like it was harming your performance in the chopping test.

No, 4 words!!!!

Face Shield, Heavy apron.

Man, I was just waiting for you to get a face full of shards. Snapping steel can be frightening (I have fractured literally tons of steel, including tungsten carbide anvils, at pressures ranging up to 1 million + PSI, so I have seen some evil shrapnel).

Especially with the edge still being sharp. Scares the crap out of me.

Great results on that chopper. There is a reason so many makers use 5160 for hard use knives.

I made my first knife out of 5160 with a ghetto back yard heat treat to non magnetic and oil quench and temper in my oven. I picked the steel because it was easier to work by hand (no power tools making my first one. Even the tang pin holes were drilled with a hand crank drill).
