Wish I could pull that off! Nice work.

very nice work! How did your edges hold up?

I had to keep sharpening em, but what I've learned to keep an edge is to have it razor sharp (mirror finish). The edge lasts much longer doing this

Yeah, I prefer a little softer steel that needs more touches up than harder stuff that could chip out on me. Again, awesome work.

surprisingly i didn't need to touch them up that much. I did most of the work with the Fox 75; for a 440A steel its phenomenal how well it held an edge
