Really not bad considering I chopped hard wood, batonned through hard wood, whacked a metal pipe, and whacked a slab of cement with it (I was purposefully abusing it to see how the edge would hold up since I had two of them).

I'm actually kind of impressed, especially since the damage didn't even begin to show up until the metal pipe. Sal, whatever you're doing with that heat treat, keep it up :D.

Why would you ever wack a knife into metal and cement? what would that prove?:confused:

The Tenacious steel is a little soft. I used the back of mine to strike a fire steel, and it took some metal off. I haven't tried that with any harder steels, so I don't know how well it compares.

I still like the steel.

I had two and really want to know that it could handle. I knew I'd be nearly destroying it form the beginning :p

Now its time to test your sharpening/edge repair techniques! Please take pics of the edge once you repair it. :)

That damaged edge would be fun to reprofile.

Actually, I'm at the point where sharpening is the fun part.
