But the problem identified in this thread is about inconsistencies in A2 blades. Mark has found that the A2 blade in his LN #60 1/2 is superb whereas the A2 blade in his LN #4 has problems with the edge crumbling, even when honed at a steeper angle. Other people have posted about this before, which suggests inconsistencies in the manufacturing process.
Cheers :wink:
