Could something like this be done in 3.5mm 75cr1? The grind would be obviously very short and convex. Will it handle bone chopping and at what hardness is the peak toughness for 75cr1?

I sometimes use this thread as a thread for all current projects including questions? Is that fine or should new thread be made for questions like this?

Its hard to keep your thread and thoughts and answers together when you post questions in this part. I think you should start you own thread on your question.

Oh yeah, pretty easier to flatten and make stay put.

using speedbonder and pins it is not going anywhere.

Does it stay flush with the liners on the side or does change of humidity make that you can feel it?

No complaints so far,

But all natural materials move and if in a super humid environment stuff can move.

A little EDC Cleaver I made for my oldest daughter. It's my first free hand grind. Got a little HF 1x30 and I'm encouraged by the results. Made it by cutting and regrinding an old beat up chefs knife I've had since college. Gave it some new life. Still need to finish up the handle and make a sheath.
