I haven't been able to do any cutting with it, besides the obligitory paper shredding, but it sharpens up very nicely, has a very slim sexy profile compared to my big ol' german vintage scimitar and seems like it should be fantastic for protein fab. I used the german the other day for breaking down a case of chickens and it took it without a wince, so I'll probably be using that one for bone in protein, and the fowler for everything else.Originally Posted by brainsausage
Picked up a Forgecraft 8" that had some rust and a somewhat dry handle. Soaked it overnight in Breakfree and cleaned it up with a little steel wool. After that put a new 30 degree edge and oiled up the handle. Did some minor prep of onions, tomatoes, and limes just to see how it cuts. Not too bad but I suspect it will be even better with a little thinning.
Not the best pic, but it's making me smile
