Mr. Andrew N.-
You know they held up just fine like the several you've made me over the years. Top notch stuff! LOL

This was not their first rodeo!
I've use them on several occasions.
Just first somewhat rough treatment.
I did not notice any microchipping nor damage to the edge that comes with scraping or cutting into bone. I use a pair of compound loppers to sever the spine, and come back with a knife to finish separating gristle and meat.
IMHO I'll be able to do a number of things before I have to do any sharpening on either. Wicked remains the sharper of the two.
ya!
