Pretty well overall. Very well considering it’s an almost quarter inch thick knife. Not as efficient as a thin saw blade, but also not gonna break.
Before use I decided to give it a hot vinegar bath.
Before:
After:
Pretty hard seasoned oak - green pine in background was chopped with the sharp side - very nice chopper...
The cut:
Interestingly, it did much better on the dry, hard wood. Didn’t bind as much and due to the weight of the blade, it would cut slowly without any downward pressure - pretty cool.

Well, I just went to the Arizona site, and grabbed one. Y’all are a bad influence! Off to the market now to stock up on a month’s supply of Ramen and cheap domestic beer.

Day 2: Ramen supply is holding steady. Prilosec, as well. Natural Light levels have reached critical stages. Dehydration imminent. Bottle of El Toro keeps flipping its red plastic sombrero at me. Doctor prognosis: micarta and SR-77 stat.

Got my sheath from Mr. Brown. Pics soon...
"This is a very small batch that is leftover from a special run."
Unlikely, considering this mention in the OP:

Haven’t had a chance to get mine dirty, yet, but I did oil the micarta to see how it would look...

I won’t lie - the first few scratches hurt - but once you fight through that pain it’s all worthwhile.

I actually had a full week of nights off, between my old second job closing down, and starting another one. I was totally lazy the whole time. Lol! The new job is a local restaurant that also processes their own meat. If I get to do any butchering during the off-time, I’m going to bring the SMD with me, and cut some steaks. Maybe I can work up a nice patina like yours. Those teeth are still hungry for some oak, though!

I’ll admit it never occurred to me to use the SMD as a steak knife. You must be a Big Ol’ Hauger for real!!
