Comment by Lars on July 14, 2024 at 8:42: he he....don't know if the steel is a bit soft or not - but it makes splitting limbs for tinder real easy! Does a pretty mean job on brisket too! :-D

Comment by Kevin D on July 14, 2024 at 7:29: Just noticed that 440A steel. Is that steel a bit soft? Might take an edge real nice and easy but it seems it would dull quickly. Not much carbon in that alloy. Only .6 to .75% if I am remembering my alloys correctly.

I generally try to deal with steels that have a minimum of .85-.9%. 1% is my sweet spot. :D

But dang, it looks good.
