My first time sharpening a Tanto.
I did this on the KME Sharpening System, using a progression of every stone, all the lapping glass, and all the stropping emultions. It took all day. 😂
This is a Strider SnG Performance Tux handground Tanto in MagnaCut, reprofiled to 20°.
My first time sharpening a tanto. Went for 20° all around.

The current state of my fixed blade collection
I picked up the Cold Steel SRK 3V during the recent Father's Day special. Including some store credit, I got her for eighty bucks. I'm quite pleased by that. This is a sweet knife.
I love fixed blades as an idea, so I keep buying them. But in truth, I find very little use for them. The Redhawk gets inside my pocket every now and again, and the G 3.2 has been attached to my bag for years now. But the rest are just sitting around waiting for their time to shine. lol
