$35 Bananas to my Door ( Australian Republic Credits )
Steel is 55/50 HRC 55HRC file BITES & 50HRC file skates ! Supposedly D2 steel .
Factory edge failed @ 50 slices of rope / Yeah ... FUBAR in a major way !
80 Grit regrind ( wet stone grinder - knife sharpener ) returned @ 450 .
I felt the 17 deg edge begin a roll around 300 slices . Was a wet day , so maybe the paper was getting a little touchy feely ( absorbing moisture ) ?
Still . for a $35 banana knife ... It did rather well .
The leather sheath is a bit of a slop fit , so you may wish to use some filler ...... I did !
No buyers remorse on this one . Just wish the blade had been harder !
