Sick of the old ones I ground them down and drilled them out. Put in some new timascus ones to match the clip

I'm not coordinated enough to go any slower and still keep everything in frame. I tested a couple of times and they were all within a gram or two. Had 2 lower scores but it was faster 😂

Picked up Dr marvs ultra fine set. My last session with this knife was 32 bess when finishing at 0.5um.

Cheers!

Decided to sharpen my chopped smock. Been carrying and using it for a bit, edge is still pristine. I mean, it's dirty but undamaged. No chipping or rolling. As long as you don't abuse it, the low angles are actually quite stable.

Cheers!

Decided to sharpen my chopped smock. Not my besst, but a screaming edge. Been carrying it and it's still pristine. No rolling or chipping. Dirty, but undamaged 😂

Cheers!

Smock in 4v with smock scales and a 12.5° 18 bess edge.

I've been playing with low edge angles lately and my previous best was 22g @ 12.5° on a k390 delica wharncliffe. This is a magnacut blade around 63hrc sharpened to 10° with a 300um to 0.5um stone progression and no strop.

My process is exactly the same, only change was the angle.

Now I just need the manix.
Super psyched

REK shaman reblade, 300um-0.5um no strop. 100g line tension. Dr marvs scientific sharpening stones.

12.5° edge bevel, 300um to 0.5um no strop. Took absolutely forever. Damn you vanadium carbides!

Cheers!

Finished my k390 delica wharncliffe mod. Reground, acid/stone washed the blade. Awt scales, anodized some titanium clip screws as a nod to the k390 green frn scales. Black clip. 12.5° 300um-0.5um unstropped 22-31 bess edge.

Personal best for maxamet. Man I'd forgotten how much reprofiling this steel sucks. 😂

Love this thing. 12.5° edge. 39 bess.
