Understood. But just because I have these doesn't mean I'm finished buying...

Well, pick 'em up and bring 'em out and see how they do

With the sweet collection you have, I completely understand! Maybe the Horton short sword?

I've never sharpened for chopping, much less chopping and subsequent cutting/slicing. I'm assuming a polished edge works well for chopping since you're really push cutting with a lot of force, but then I don't want something that's just going to slide over fibrous materials when slicing. This is probably less of an issue for non-stainless blades.

 

[DaKruiser]

rhino, a slightly toothy edge is probably best. We will have the same setup as last year, so you'll be cutting foam pipe insulation, manila rope, and water bottles that will be easier I think with a toothy edge.

That's what I needed to know!

As it is, it just followed the original bevel on my Junglas with a fairly coarse diamond to rough it up a little, then a finer diamond to refine it. It won't pop hair, but it slices newsprint pretty well. I'm not going to mess with the edge geometry because I'm out of my wheelhouse with respect to this application.
