rawcustom Posted July 24, 2014 Report Posted July 24, 2014 Already stated that it sounds like a dull knife, and in self interest I would be happy to recommend upgrading. Before you do I suggest you sharpen it well, use, sharpen, and repeat a couple times so in the event you upgrade you will understand the increased edge performance and you will also be adept at sharpening a round knife having gotten all the practice out of the way on the cheaper one.

Members Sanch Posted August 25, 2014 Members Report Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) tired of the quality of things purchased I made my own. its made of sawmill end cut blade (most likely L6 or 15N20 steel) it heat treated fine (triple heat treatment and temper) the handle is a micarta that was made for me by my wife. woah!!! the third pic is huge sorry! and the finish on the handle suits me the glass finish it had was to slick!!

Members chriscraft Posted August 25, 2014 Members Report Posted August 25, 2014 stealfdawg, that is one nice looking knife. I need to start making my own knives. Just have seen too many cool looking knifes and it makes me want to build my own. Something about making stuff yourself that has a different meaning than just buying one doesn't fill. I like making stuff for my own use. I agree on the Tandy round knife not being of quality steel/metal. I have an older Tandy one that needs sharpening after every use. My vintage old Osborne round knife arrived so sharp that I have not re-sharpened it yet. Quote
