How would you rate the RDD’s edge retention after cutting that muffin?

 

[Mr.sig239]

I ran it on my sharpener 3 times but managed to finally get it cut all the way thru! A quick hone every 1/4 inch helped it also.


I have used it quite a bit and have never had to touch up the edge yet. Seems to last pretty ood.

Out of curiosity, what does your username mean?

Sig has a model 239 in its classic P Series handguns. My guess is it probably has something to do with that.

Correct! It was and is my user name from long ago on Sigforum. I'm still there and still own 3 Sig's.

Still waiting on a Gen % but Recon 1 dropped the price on this lnib 111 and I couldn't resist.

Nice score! I was periodically checking that one out but just couldn’t pull the trigger at the original full asking price.

Nicest looking 111! ^^^
Course I'm a little bias as I have the same model.

Thanks, Y'all. I pop in that site once a day to window shop. Got lucky.

Congrats on your pickup, Chuck_Nunface . I'm really taken with the blade on that new Gen5 model, but the original 111CF with fuller is an absolute classic and one that belongs in any true sleuth of Bears--it's the one I really wanted when it came to me over 5 years ago and one that I doubt will leave me even if another makes its way into my Den.

We did talk earlier about the 111's clip being shallow and stiff and I trust yours will ease up and break in like mine has. It didn't take the whole 5 years either.

Nice buncha Bears, G gmac6544 . I see you're at Imgur already, so just access the desktop site, click on the pic you want to post, go to the sidebar and copy the BB code. Paste that into the body of your text where you want it and the pic will show up just like mine above.
