So I was at work yesterday and saw a dirty pallet which were what I was looking for to start my review with. With such a thin edge I wanted to see what type of damage would be induced to the apex from the dirt. I decided to use most of the pallet and check for damage in between but could not see any damage visible. Also there were a few knots and I made use of them by hitting them on purpose. After I was done I quickly cleaned the edge to check for damage but there were nothing. Last night I quickly cleaned the edge on my leather belt stropping it with 10 passes on each side and it was back to a high level of sharpness. The 1111 handles much better now due to the amount of metal that were grounded off. The standard 1111 were way to heavy and edge was extremely thick.

Review to be continued.......

Sharpness after stropping it were still push cutting newspaper print. Tonight I will use it in the kitchen and over the weekend I will clear some bushes to see how the edge holds up.

Oh yes sorry..... i'm a bit behind on this..
But I have even better news, custom knifemaker Philip Dunn just finnished a chopper in 5160 that we will use to compare to the 1111.

Lets see what happens.... We are gonna try to make this as fair as possible.
