Extreme(?) Cutting with Mora Companion


I took the advices of my facebook friends and decided to try this trick again. Cutting metal with a knife intended for more regular knife-tasks isn’t something I consider a smart thing to do. But a challenge is a challenge, so let’s do it and let’s see what happens.

No special effects or unusable edge angles. Just a plain old Stainless Mora Companion with a microconvexed edge, more of less 17 degrees per side and a rather aggressive finish.
