As purchased: 2.25 lbs head, 1080 steel, edge hardened ~55-58rc, 25 degrees slight convex grind, ~40 degrees edge, 28 inches curved handle
Will modify it to experiment specs: full hardened 62-63rc, 17 degrees flat grind bevel, 30 degrees edge
Blue Gum Characteristics: Janka 2370 lbf, MoR 135MPa, EM 18.8GPa (https://www.wood-database.com/blue-gum/). Here is my recent video - chopping blue gum: youtu.be/7S7-v-UNXa8
Appreciate any advises/thoughts - should I consider before go forth with this?
