Like this. Maybe not exactly this shaped choil, but more shaped like that, than the others. Idk. Ive always liked that round look.
Yeah. I think it lets your finger fit in well, but looks better than the denka kinda choil.I like rounded choils like that.
I cant remember. What part of the country are you in? Just trying to see how far its made it.hi All just an updated. Still waiting on the knife to come in. should have been here today but based on tracking I'd say it's more likely to arrive tomorrow. Will update when I receive it!
Ah ok. On the way to the east coast then.Wisconsin!
How'd the sharpening go?Knife is with me safe and sound. Besides lots of little swirlies/fishtails it's in good shape. I think I might touch up the edge just a tad, maybe on the venev 800.

Have gotten a little sidetracked, plan on sharpening and using it tomorrow, will update when I do!How'd the sharpening go?
I'd be interest to see how it does with a full sharpening.This was about 5 minutes on a venev 800 followed by diamond strop. Didn't go till I felt a burr, just wanted to give the edge a touch up. Really impressed by how much sharper it got in just a little time. Will give using it a go this week and get it out by the weekend.

Yeah I didn't want to remove a ton of material, plus I feel like even with the venev 400 it could take a bit. I really need a lower grit diamond.I'd be interest to see how it does with a full sharpening.
Probably will be a good thing anyway, since i imagine making sure fatigued steel is gone could help with better edge retention afterwards anyway.
Yeah in the 200's range is still quite sharp for me, I notice around 350+ is when I feel like a knife could use a sharpen. Just wanted to see what a little bit of time on the stones would do with the 10vTo be frank, at least to me, it was still screaming sharp when I used it so Im impressed it can get sharper
Idk how the geometry is looking now, it didnt look like it thickened up too much in the last pic. If its still close to how it was sent out. A 400 should be pretty quick.Yeah I didn't want to remove a ton of material, plus I feel like even with the venev 400 it could take a bit. I really need a lower grit diamond.
I sharpened it on 3k diamond stone. Of course it being a 3k stone very little metal was removed.
It didn't need a whole lot when I had it. A few passes on the Venev 400 then 800 was all it needed. Would hesitate slightly on tomatoes when I got it, but wasn't dull.
Same for me, not dull, but a bit hesitant on tomatoes, so a few passes on 3k.It didn't need a whole lot when I had it. A few passes on the Venev 400 then 800 was all it needed. Would hesitate slightly on tomatoes when I got it, but wasn't dull.
