Thanks Knocks. My company commander was very excited to rub it in the other company's face that they were busted skylining hahaha.
Cool photos Cryptyc, mine arrived today.
Haven't messed with it yet Cryrtyc , lol mine has no apex.![]()
I have DMT bench stones to take the bevels down to an apex. I'm pretty sure this isn't something common so in my case it's not a big problem. I was rather surprised when it wouldn't cut anything.That's why the cardboard blade cover has a sticker indicating who sharpened it - give the shop a call, if you don't think you should have to sharpen a factory fresh knife.
I bet your right, mine won't cut copier paper even in a sawing motion.Mine were both dull, wouldn't cut copier paper or cardboard. I just spent an hour on the Apex Pro & strop and the Swamp Rat 3 is now cutting paper. Not sure I want to start working on the RMD, that one is going to take more time.
I bet ours were sharpened and checked by the same person.
