I reprofiled my HC to 20 degrees with y Lansky but I am still not happy with the cutting performance yet. My SS4 is a wicked sharp zero edge that can shave hair.
I may break down and not worry about looks and just ake the grinder to the edge.

I am on my way to strip the SH-E.

I'm still messing with machetes. I've been working on improving the much beloved Tramontina bolo. The handles are hard on pinkys. This is part of the JYD Machete Project.

Other JYDs are workin on alternative handle materials and sheathing. The madness continues. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
