Colonial Bushcraft Defiant CE400 videos
I was out in the woods yesterday and decided to see if I could cut a suitable walking staff with my Colonial. I had worked on sharpening the knife with my KME system. I had not been able to get it to shaving hair sharp yet. It would slice paper but it would already do that. I chopped a small tree down with it and trimmed limbs off and cut out a section to be made into a walking staff. The tree was about two inches thick where I made the first cut and about an inch and a half where I made the second cut. I want to get the knife sharper before I start trimming down the staff. The knife seemed to still be as sharp afterward as it was before. It would still slice paper.
These videos are what I did yesterday.

That is going to be a good walking stick. Being 154 is may be a little harder to get the edge than you were thinking BUT, with all you have done it does not appear to be effecting the edge. I am thinking when you get that edge your looking for, it is going to stay there very well. Thanks for the visual!
