Hultafors Scandi …. (?) Why ………… ?
So much work for what ? When I think about the pain and suffering to make this a reality , I should have just purchased a Mora Garberg .
Unfortunately , the MAIL is so slow right now , I am not getting a knife fix … ( Waiting too long ) …
So I guess I had to do my own knife fix … ( Did I fix it or break it ? )
Fail was between 150 slices and 200 slices …
I dont remember the slices before the mod ( some where around 200 / 250 )
So the scandi edge has lost 50 to 100 slices in edge retention .
What it has gained is a frighteningly sharp edge ( Scalpel Like ) .
The edge rolled after about 20 slices ( could feel it slicing the rope )
But it was so sharp , that no effort was required to get thru the rope .
Anyways , after 150 slices the roll seems to have broken away creating a bit of a flat spot ( seen with the naked eye in direct sun light )
I used the strop with compound - 3 passes each way and the edge was back !
A few more passes on leather and it was good again .
I have ordered more rope as I am running out … SO hopefully another 50 meters on the way .
Will the edge resist rolling now that it has rolled ? ( will edge holding improve ) …
Have to wait for more rope …
So many knives , so little rope !
