I keep trying this blade on whatever is at hand and when nothing is doing, I look for something to pound it through. It sailed thru a stainless steel screw with minor edge chips and rolling. Got it shaving sharp on the stones and started looking for more action. The copper tube in one shot and the broom handle in two. Could have done it in one with a harder swing.

I'm just not used to a small knife with such a thick blade and it is taking some work to overcome the thin blade habit.
