With the edge deflection. Yes it sprang back & no cracking. But right on the fine edge it stayed bent very slightly almost like a bur. It took a magnifier to see. I tried to make it bend pounding, chopping, twisting in hardwood & couldn't. Only when rolled on the rod. I wrapped the handle with paracord with the intent to really test it out for a few days.
But I wonder if I should go ahead and redo the HT.
