Hi there. I'm new to the forum and SY Knives. I bought a new SOD off an equipment exchange and I got it a few days ago. The SOD will make the perfect camp knife for me and I love the knife very much. I also love the handle and how warm it feels when it's -40 outside.

I do have my flame proof undies on but here goes.

I wasn't at all happy with the edge on the knife. It was off center and uneven. It also wasn't sharp at all but it did chop 2x4 not to bad. So I went and bought some sand paper and 5 hours later I'm done. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story. I'm also patiently waiting for the CG Scrapivore which will be the perfect companion for this knife.

Half way done


Done




Edge was too obtuse imo so I thinned it out a bit.


This is after destroying a 2x4 and yes my legs are white. Canadian and all. I have no more armhair left.


Yes it's sharp.


My hair under microscope.


Very happy with it now. David Brown is making me a sheath which I'm looking forward to.

Thanks for looking.
