Picked up a Mayo B173-00-0 Buck/Mayo Northshore today.Nice knife with a couple of quibles - the main one being that a fair number of edges other than the blade's ( which is plenty sharp) are sharp. I seem to run into this more and more - from a variaty(spl mch) of makers. Got me to thinking - is modern metal shaping equipent very good at cutting out parts - but is hand work required to knock the edge back on those parts once made?
Any of you tool and die types - can you give me some insight as to why this is? I suspect that a finishing step has been eliminated as not being percieved as needed or that for some reason machinery to automate this process is not avialabe.( more spl).
