Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

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!
