Marbles Sowbelly D2

Post by old4570 »




Love the build quality ( how it's bolted together ) . Right up there with the best of them . You could spend big and not get a knife bolted together better .

How ever ! Edge holding is very ordinary .
Is the steel D2 ? It certainly does not perform like D2 . Failing at 100 slices of rope puts this knife at the bottom level of average ( for me ) .
In fact this blade falls behind 420SS in performance , so ? Factory edge failed at 100 slices and my guided knife sharpener edge failed at 100 slices . Back to back 100 slice fails .

Bringing the edge back was as easy as stropping the blade on pure leather . A total of 10 passes on the strop and the blade was slicing paper again .
So is that easy edge maintenance ? Id trade that for edge holding any day .
