That didn't take long
« on: Feb 05, 2014, 06:51 PM »
Only took 125 or so holes for me to hit my first log in the miss backwaters with my new eskimo mako. As soon as I saw wood coming through the hole I cut it and pulled out. Surprisingly it didn't dull the blades at all, cut the next 20+ holes as fast and as easy as ever. Really surprising, eskimo must use some good steel! It did push me to buy a spare set while I still can, hopefully I don't need to use them for a while!

They are unfortunately all made in China now. But I have been resharpening my blades every other time out to be sure they are sharp. I mostly just touch them up a little.
Mine is the Z51 using 8" Quantum Blades.
