    Thanks guys --- I really put this blade to test while camping this past weekend. Whittled until my arms were sore, chopped tons of branches and just basically pushed it to see how edge handled things. Back at home after weekend, it would still cut hair and paper with ease.

    Thanks for comments - I have done both high layer counts (250ish) and lower layers and I prefer the definition of lower counts

    @Jacob - Not derail thread, but I am also the proud owner of an early Bronco - Leaf springs have hardened very well for me using canola oil around 120 degrees = Here is bronco and a machete made from an leaf spring off an early bronco I bought for parts

    This knife had my logo stamped in it with a custom stamp from CMT - See my avatar! I do etch as well and have an old etcher that works fairly well - I buy a commercial acid for use with it.

    Roger is an awesome gentleman and I believe over 75 years old - I just purchased and installed one of his firepots and they are incredible. Call him at 309-475-9012 (best way to reach) here are photos:

    Bear in mind, unless you have a method for storing in a very dry environement, it will likely just absorb moisture again and do the same thing. Humidity will feed vermiculite.
