Thanks guys, GB when you want to learn how to do that plunge just let me know, it's so simple a monkey could do it. I have taught many this over the years.
Georgiaboy, it is very simple especially when you have someone show you, I made a video of me doing it but still, there is something about being right there that makes a difference. ill be headed down there in a couple weeks to bug the mess out of John for a couple days, cant wait.
Monkeys are usually a little more advanced than I am! John I'd love to come down sometime. I need to get on your list for a blade as well.
Dustin that video was very helpful. I like how the bottom at the ricasso just where the cutting edge starts is to uniformly flared or rounded and not square.
