I was just wondering,since I'm new to the Scrapper line,how's the edge retention on these knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.Thanks guys;Ihaven't received mine yet,this is the reason I'm asking

Have had my LE for about a month....no major chopping some light carving.....various boxes about the house and I haven't had to sharpen it yet, and she still shaves hair.

Mine has held up rather well...Granted mine wasnt shaving sharp (utility edge) from the get go, but it has more or less stayed consistant since I got it and still cuts easily

I have used mine to carve on failed spoon and another successful one. To do this I used nothing but the Scrapper for all heavey chopping. I batoned it to cut 3 inch branches in half and then batoned it to slice off unwanted sections. I also used it to shave the bark, fine carving and to get wood for the fire. This was during the past two Saturdays and will be brought out again tomorrow. It still has a very sharp edge, no dulling whatsoever.

Welcome to the yard!

have used mine for a lot of chopping--

maintains the edge quite well

Mine chewed up a tough old plank very well... I think they are well above average in most regards once the edge profile is right.
