My old anvil has a big chip out of the corner. I just flip the piece around and keep going. A lot of it is learning how your specific tool moves metal.

It was a different scale back then. They were building memory for computers, not personal storage. The comparison misses the point entirely.

Disagree completely, @troykim. That guy was just loud and wrong.

My setup in Idaho was all single hooks for years. Hearing about that ruined ribeye changed my mind completely. The extra minute for a second hook is cheap insurance.

Nice! I just give mine a quick hone before each use and a full sharpening every couple months.
