A steel? Who knew from a steel? I scraped that Boy Scout's knife blade across carborundum stones, field rocks and even a power grinder wheel. Like I said, a preteen boy's abuse!  It survived. I do occasionally get the urge to dig it out and clean it up, but so far I haven't given in.
It wasn't as well cared for as yours obviously was. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Nothing has happened to the handle that has any affect on utility. For that matter, I don't think that anything has significantly affected its appearance. A knife made with good steel and well cared for will last an incredibly long time. That is especially true if the owner will utilize a steel to straighten the edge on a frequent basis. If one does not use a steel, but rather sharpens every time the edge doesn't seem sharp enough a lot of metal will eventually be worn away. |
