Steve,
Yes, I tried Simonds Red Streak in 2013, along with Monks, DF, WM, Lenox, TK, Suffolk and Kasco. I get an average of 245 bf per sharpening with SRS, similar to the Lenox. Overall, for me the DF, TK ultramax and Kasco give the best life. I mill mostly urban hardwoods, pine species only accounted for 2.5% of last year's production.
