I’ve made my wife and daughter promise to bury me with mine!
Nothing shows off that hollow grind as well as the polished blade. One of my favorite combinations right there.New toy today. Our first cardboard murder took thirty minutes. First snail trail took an hour. First 21 DPS sharpening job to 600 grit took an hour more.
She's gonna be a user! I want to see how this polished blade holds up.
That’s awesome. How’d you get a polished blade on a PJ? I’m eventually going to turn my Thuya 21 with polished blade into a user so I’m looking forward to seeing how yours holds upNew toy today.

Bonus! The polished blades get a little thinner behind the edge.Polished PJs have always been out there. Just not as common as the stonewash. I may just have to pop this one in the pocket tomorrow. Its been a while.View attachment 2303897

Do you find that blade shape overall preferable to the more traditional clip point and if so, why?Tools used so far this morning.

The insingo is an incredibly versital blade shape and lends itself to most tasks needed both working and EDC. The 2 tasks it doesn’t do well are slicing on say a cutting board of other flat surfaces as there is just no belly and It doesn’t draw cut as well as the Tanto. It does draw cut well but it’s at a steep all tip angle like a utility knife.Do you fine that blade shape overall preferable to the more traditional clip point and if so, why?
