100mm Garden Knife
on: January 25, 2021, 02:23:19 AM
Recently got one of these in a lot, and all I can say is, I'm really impressed. The knife is lightweight, tough (with decently thick liners), and the chisel grind really easy to sharpen. I mean, the edge was pretty dull on this knife when it arrived. Took no time at all using the 400 grit diamond on the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener, followed by burr removal on the back of the blade with the ceramic hone on the Worksharp, followed by a few passes on a ceramic rod I have, followed by more burr removal, then stropping both sides with an old belt. Even as horrible as I am at sharpening, I got an edge that could shave off arm hair--first time in ages I've been able to do that. Still not as good as factory, but a really good working edge.

I have two of these right now...I never could figure out what the point was with them...why not use a regular knife for gardening? What does this do that another knife wouldn't?
This life is merely a staging ground for eternity. Are you preparing for the rest of forever?

Oh my...
I’d forgotten all about these
I sent myself crazy years ago as I frantitried to get the Wenger versions, I ended up buying from Eastern Europe. I’ve also tried a couple of the Victorinox versions too.
Aren’t the blades carbon steel or something??
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

No, stainless steel.
But, AFAIK, its blade has a slightly higher hardness (HRC) than other SAK blades (probably due to the different heat treatment mode).
