Good and clean for the material. A sign of a man that knows what he's doing.

thanks guys. found the only difference with the unheated is you need to swing a little harder and not make any mistakes. easy right  ;D

 That's a cool little blade.  Man, you have been cranking them out, you still working? ;D That swinging harder is the reason I quit knocking a piece of and just started loading rock Sunday. My hand and fingers were getting too sore.
