I was away yesterday and today and lacking in things to do so i thought i'd damage my knife!
So i went about splitting this and batoning that. I ended up with quite a lot of kindling for our hosts. And eventually i checked my knife and DINK! It was a big one and i feared i had bitten off more that i could chew.
My DC4 is a very agressive stone, and it took me no time to almost completely get rid of it. (the dent that is).
It was worrying though, i thought i might mess up the knife, it felt completely wrong grinding the edge down. Never done that before. After a while i managed to get it back in working order, not quite razor all over yet.
Even after affirming me belief that i can infact repair a convex, i aint a convert. If i was to dent an Alan Wood bushcrafter in convex i wouldnt have the guts to repair it myself. So i think i am sticking to a Flat grind for me.
So, although i know (no matter how much i tell myself that i wont) i will be buying the svord sooner or later flat grinds are still my favoured grinds.
Cheers,
Jake
