Sat.8/5 was our first annual family pig roast. As it was late in the season the pig was big(240lbs). Knowing the condition of my brother in laws knives I had taken my Spyderco Sharpmaker to touch up his blades and my knife of choice was a Spyderco Military plain edge.
After 12 hours of slow cooking it was time to disassamble Mr.Pig. The task of rough cutting fell to me. The Spyderco Military was perfect for the job. Cut thru the thick cooked skin with little effort and the flat grind glided around the bone. The 440V blade never lost the razor sharp edge it came with and the G10 scales kept it secure in hand even covered in grease.
After all the work of cutting up the hog it was still just as sharp as when it started.I am really impressed with the 440V steel. Even the inevitable contact with bone made no impression on the edge.This is a great knife.
This morning I touched it up with the Sharpmaker(not really needed) and cleaned the caked grease from the blade and scales and it is as if it was new.
Now I must go and attack the remaining BBQ.It is a dirty job,but someone has to do it.
