if it leaves bald spots on my legs that's good enough for me.

    An old Keen Kutter double bit,
    I ADORE old Keen Kutters.   As for 5160, it's a decent steel for edge retention and impact. I have changed over to using 80crv2 in its place though. It can take an INSANELY thin edge and survive heavy chopping. I love it for making competition blades for Bladesports (there's some crazy vids of bladesports online). Plus, when I use it for a kitchen blade, it will take a Hamon if I want, so I can make em more fancier...lol
    Heat it till it's hot, then beat it with a hammer until it's the shape you want.    Blacksmith's advice that works for pretty much everything in life
