Re: H1 Fixed blades
Al
I would suggest using a black marker pen to blacken the area that you want to cut.
Start with a tri-angle file to get the position, and file to almost the desired depth you think you need.
THEN use the chainsaw file to get the profile.

Re: H1 Fixed blades
You can file H1 with a chainsaw file...but be prepared to take about 15 minutes for EACH large serrated concave profile.

Re: thoughts on a Spyderco Machete
I made 10 Kukhris years ago, maybe for Sal's perusal... BUT, you can buy cheap machetes and kukhris, and Spyderco's manufacture might make the price a tad more for such a simple object. I have two other knives in Spyderco's queue, if ever that they decide to make them, so I gave a few kukhris away, ...

Re: Lansky - What am I doing wrong?
What Sal says...
What might help is to put a black marker pen mark on the edge as it exists.
When you remove metal, the black marker worn away will tell you where the steel is removed.

Funny thing is, I traced my Yo2 a few months ago and made up some Pakkawood scales. Then a Pakkawood blade but with a big disc of Milliput putty on the tip. Pivot pin at blade pivot point of the blade, and another pivot pin at the rear of the scales. Small neobium magnet at the rear of the blade whe...

Re: Getting Full Value from Your Blade Length
My main EDC for a long time now has been the Yojimbo, but before that was the Tenacious. If I go to a place where edges are frowned upon, the Tennie is my EDC. The reason is the length of edge, and the handle comfort second. The steel type is merely an academic exercise anyway. ( sorry to the supers...

Re: Browsing through the product guide: The two middle ground models that are still missing imo
I know it will never happen, but the original Worker in black FRN would be nice. FRN molds for the Delica or suchlike might be close enough? Call it the De-Worker? Problem is that folk will want a gazillion choices of color, and steel types that have not been invented yet, and assorted blade profile...

Re: What knife do you actually carry and use the most?
Yojimbo 2 as utility, and food prep, as whatever grabs my attention.
The tip is still there, and the song remains the same.

Re: Chasing Ghosts: The effect of edge aggression between steels.
Geometry decides ease of cutting...
Steel type AND HT decides length of cutting time...
Micro-serrations type and size decides the aggression...
Imagine a serrated cast dendritic blade...
