Nice photos and you got some knife skilz. Did you sharpen the corners of the spine on that Enzo or was the spine capable of scraping like that out of the box?

Appreciate your taking the time to comment. Really appreciate the fact that your comment is directly related to use/application of the tool(s) vs ... Most folks miss so many functional applications and therefore fail to even be curious as to applications of a sharp spine (example: beveling a piece of plastic quickly & easily, re-pointing or beveling a pencil lead, making wood shavings from wood and/or Fatwood, pushing fingernail cuticles, scraping fingernail ridges flat vs. sanding, debarking saplings, tree ringing or Girdling (for later dead-standing harvest), etc., etc. the applications are somewhat endless.

I sharpen the spines of all knives I carry/use, as there are so many applications for a strong sharp ~90° bevel apex - couple pic's below to illustrate.
Currently have two Enzo-75 Scandi and both had "somewhat" acceptable sharp spines OEM, both spines get periodic spine sharpening maintenance and have been made full scandi to apex at ~11dps.

ESEE-4/6 Spines: (still need to remove jimping & match grind direction on my 6 similar to what I did on the 4).
Example: In my experience grind lines perpendicular perform better, just like they do on the primary apex.
Also, rubber handle spacers/liners made/installed on both right-hand side scales, both 4 & 6.
