Hi all, got my first Scrapyard knife a few weeks ago and have been using it doing some heavy wood working (chopping/splitting) and it looks like the pictures seen here:
http://imgur.com/a/tKnwJI'm not terribly worried about the coating or the marks, if anything I love the way it's starting to look used now. What I'm worried about is how un-smart I was today.
I was chopping a branch near a rock and a glancing blow launched it into the side of said rock. The edge now looks like the pictures. I don't know if it's showing or not but it's definitely not smooth like the rest of the blade, it's quite jagged and very rough when touched.
QUESTION 1: First off, is this a chipped edge or is it just "rolled" as I've heard it called before?
QUESTION 2: How can I fix this, if at all?
QUESTIONS 3/4: What is the best stone/method I should use in order to sharpen my knfie?(SR-101 steel) I've been reading around and I have yet to find anything specific. Some have suggested using Lansky diamond stones in another forum, are those sufficient?
QUESTIONS 5/6/7: What oil/lubricant should I use on it, and how often? Before and after use or just after, only if it's wet? Will WD-40 work or do I need something less generic? Again, new to all of this so any help is appreciated
QUESTIONS 8/9: There are now bits and pieces of wood that appear "glued" to my knife. They are stuck on there pretty good, hence the term glue. I didn't do anything other than just use it to split and chop, is this normal/should I try and get rid of them? If so how?
Thanks so much for your time, and proud to be an owner of a Scrapyard knife! ))))
