Hey Dan, Great idea getting the sharpmaker! Light pressure is your friend. I've learned a lot about sharpening SE blades from Vivi's post, which is excellent https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=84544#p1349519 Also our local Lee Valley store carries sweet pocket microscope, which i hig...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice. My freehand skills are okay, I get my knives hair popping sharp using bench stones, but I tend to convex every blade I put my hands on, so i decided to get a system. I bit the bullet and got Kazak UBR system and am currently learning how to use it. Bevels on bi...

Crispy edge on Manix2lw in Rex45

Woodcarving in the driftwood, endela in k390 is awesome, but a bit too big for the job. I wish there was a chaparral in k390 or urban k390 with a back lock, slipit likes to bite my fingers too much

I've used chainsaw file to reprofile e4 in SE to 15 degrees on the sharpmaker and am quite pleased with the result. The file sits nicely on the grooved part of the triangles and keeps the angle consistent. I've used equal amount of pushing and dragging strokes to have the serrations nice and even

This knife with a lock would be an absolute beast

Everything about grey FRN chaparral is on point except for the steel... I hope one day we will get the frn version in k390 or some other high edge retention steel. I also love urban in k390, but cut myself with it too many times due to lack of the lock. I use it mainly for wood carving and would lov...

Manix2 in Rex45 modded by fellow forum member

Screw construction Manix2 LW in Rex45 modded by the forum member. Should be in by Monday

Endela k390 a killer workhorse. The patina has developed naturally, I got the blade out and buffed off the area around the pivot screw to prevent rusting where I can't see it using diamond 1/2micron paste and dremel felt wheel.

I was convinced I like finger choils until I realized it actually snags and gets in the way, so I would opt for endura or endela. Both great knives, just depends what is your favorite blade length. I like having an apple or two a day and anything with shorter blade than the two above doesn't cut it ...
