    Condor Terrasaur Part 2

    I spent 2 hours sharpening this knife ! First I took it FULL Scandi , then I refined the edge till it stopped rolling by stropping . ( A lot of work ) This is the best edge I can do on a scandi knife ! And the edge faded away at 300 slices .. This is very poor economy for a 2 hour...

    Condor Terrasaur ... ( 1095 Scandi )

    Condor Terrasaur - 1095 Carbon Scandi ( With a micro bevel ) 1st thing I did was check blade hardness with my HRC files .. = 55/50 HRC ( 55HRC bites hard - 50HRC skates ) That's on the wrong side of the hardness scale for a knife blade . ( My opinion ) Soft blades ( especially scandi ) tend...
