I think I would be in tears the first time I got a scratch on the bevel of the Salt. We all know the more polished the steel, the easier it is to see scratches, and those of us that have used H1 know it scratches easily. Regardless those are 2 beautiful modifications.Clip wrote:That's darn impressive. I can almost see myself doing one, but I think I'd be in tears by the time I picked up the second knife to do it too.

Those are beautiful but I'm not sure how practical. I know Cliff had a video where he zero ground the primary bevel of a sabre ZDP Delica and then changed it to a thin FFG with a microbevel because sharpening was too beastly.

I Zero ground a Byrd Cara Cara but I sure didn't finish it to that extent. I wanted to send it for testing out with my son who was doing pest control and chipped a couple of other knives which I keep sharpened. He liked the grind but gave it back because he likes his FFG Endura better. He has another chip in that from where a co worker grabbed it, used it and chipped it doing something he shouldn't have. My son has a bad habit of laying knives and tools down as he works. He also needs a lanyard or belt holder to keep it but refuses to use either claiming that either one would get snagged crawling around like he does under houses and squeezing over , around and through piping, wires, etc. So far the correct work knife/carry set up eludes him.
I can sort of relate back from my army days with the LBE gear we had on that really got in the way when going prone, low and high crawling, etc. I had a bayonett come loose that way luckily returned by someone who saw it.
Running and going to ground was painful with that old stuff. The modern soldiers have much, much better gear and boots than we did.

That guy is pretty responsive to questions/comments if anyone has any.
As far as practical, yes, I doubt few would have the time to maintain them to the same finish. Similar to the Rockstead folders, most people are unlikely to keep the true mirror polish, especially on something like H1 for the exact reason noted.
