TMB, That's just it. It does not cut in the center of the blade. I tested it on a soft piece of pine and when the blade cut about 1/32 inch deep it stopped cutting.
The only thing the blade did well was to chip ice with light blows of a pivoting wrist. This knife must have been designed for something. I just can't figure out
for what. If some of you have trouble seeing the design of the blade, let me know, I can try and post clearer pics of the blade. Really, I just don't get the
design of this blade.
