You do get the odd occasional damage to a knife when using them ... the good news is that you "simply fixed it" ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I just put my first edge on my DFLE ... I used the factory edge till it was truly "dull" ... but it was like an "Axe" ... not sharp but still able to chop wood well ... that edge lasted nearly two years on just chopping duty ... it is tough stuff SR77 ... Axe heads are made from S7 and you can see why ...

My new edge is a convex one ... used a belt sander and a few different belts and stropped it and it is ready to go .... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
