How come my eight inch pocket axe from Fiskars is one of the sharpest edges in this house?
I was slicing paper with it, got a tad tired, picked up my zdp Delica to do the same, and was like ''wtf happened to this thing?''
I have been sharpening both about the same way (gentle convex touchup thingy), with my dc-3 stone from Fallkniven.
The obvious hypothesis would be something like; ''well you're comparing what is perhaps the hardest stainless on the market against an axe steel''.
Yes, i am. But what exactly am i comparing zdp-189 to?
All the Fiskars website says is that it's 'drop forged'.
I'd assume it's not stainless.
This whole pointless rant is my question: What are Fiskars axes made out of.
