Review on ✅ Efficient Tops TPMSF40 BRK Mini Scandi Linerlock for Optimal Performance by Michael Boyce

First of all, the mechanism of the knife is well made. But the quality of the blade just isn't up to scratch. I encountered the same problem that another reviewer mentioned: it took me just a couple of cuts in fresh wood to chip the edge. No knife should break that easily (and for $100+, a knife shouldn't break at all). This is a "flat" abrasive blade. The primary bevel was actually flat like Scandi (as opposed to convex or hollow), but a secondary bevel was added to the cutting edge to 'sharpen' it. Even this sharpening bevel did not prevent chipping. I bought this knife because I was looking for a real Scandinavian sharpener for bushcraft work, ie for cutting wood. I contacted the manufacturer about the chips. They offered to sharpen the blade to a more reliable angle (for a fee). I answered them and when they gave me the knife back it was really sharp. The secondary sharpening bevel appears to be at 30 degrees. But the main problem remains - this is not a Scandinavian sharpened knife and is not suitable for wood carving or other bushcraft work.
