First of all, congratulations on your purchase or gift. Don't worry that the knife doesn't cut plastic bottles on the fly, it can be changed. You can do what I did with my SRK and EF 131. Re-profile the knife to 18 degrees on the side with a fix angle sharpener (preferably on diamonds, to a max grit of 1500), then hone the blade on a belt with polishing paste, it is important that it has a fine grit. I use white Bark River paste. After this treatment, SRK cuts wood like a Scandi knife. The second thing is the bottle cutting technique. Try not to cut flat, but tilt the blade back slightly. PeterBilTKnifeGuy has a good technique. I cut through 4 large water bottles with Fallkniven A1 each time (6mm on the spine).

Why thank you sir! It was a gift, I'm freaking lucky haha. I've watched a video and read at least one article talking about an 18° or 17° edge. I'm not good enough of a sharpener to try that yet but I will absolutely try it one day(probably on a less expensive knife to start). I just received a diamond sharpening plate that is 400/1000 grit. That will be what I use , I don't have a machine with a belt. I will get a strop within the next month or two. Yeah I usually have a decent slicing technique, I was in a hurry and hit the bottle flat, like an amateur lol. Terrible. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching 👍🔪⚔️🗡️! Merry Christmas!

Blade is too thick for playing with bottles or angle of sharpening is too steep. I think your technique is not perfect also. Try cutting some pork meat or something...
