Thread: Bummer

Polished up a Wade Butcher and mounted it in kirinite scales. It looked great!
Took it through the hones finishing on a 20k Gyo.

Stropped on linen and leather and lathered up.

First stroke was rough. Very rough. Put it on CrOx, linen and leather.
Next stroke was ok. Second stroke was not. By the fourth stroke it was not cutting.

Back to the hones. Started at 8k and went through 20 k.

Same stropping and leather.

The same. This blade will not take an edge. Bummer.

In 10 years this the third blade to fail.
