All Things Handles

[Mark Reich]

I understand. That's not an issue on my knives. It's easy to match the bolster to the edge, pretty much like you do to your kitchen knives. This is hard steel though, so you don't need to worry.

I try to adjust that with the future in mind, so it takes some time for breaking in. One you have it dialed in, you should still have a long time before the bolster needs adjusting.

The most important consideration is to keep you safe. If there wasn't a bolster, you'd be cutting yourself on the heel.
