This level of sharpness has always served me very well in my cutting tasks.<br /><br />Lots of folks in various forums, blogs etc. on the Internet obsess about different levels of sharpness, but I think when you can split a hydrogen atom with your Woodlore, that edge probably won't last too long doing real tasks under real conditions. I much prefer a good basic working edge for wilderness tools.<br /><br />bmattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793387715625734345.post-28923861322594802542011-04-04T18:27:04.667-07:002011-04-04T18:27:04.667-07:00Paper is a good idea.
