Thread: Your Favorite Tool?

I was just reading an article a couple weeks ago about the benefits of that skew profile. It looks quite interesting!
I've been trying to decide if I should re-profile my current skew to that, or buy a second one to try them out side by side, without wasting a ton of steel if I don't like it.
Have you found any negatives to having that sweeping arc, rather than a straight angled skew?


I wish I had a story about tools handed down from previous generations, but sadly, my father was never the handy type, and the only tool i have from my grandfather, despite the fact that he was a carpenter, is a horrifyingly dished, generic 2 sided sharpening stone.

I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite of the ones I have. They all serve a purpose!
