I really enjoy sharpening any type of steel, I find it really satisfying and am getting pretty good at it (although i'm struggling to get a good edge on my Bob Terzuola, CPM S30V) even friends and work colleagues bring me their knifes for a little reconditioning :)

I love CF but as a brit, would love to see a slip joint too

As the title says, does anyone know the angle of the factory chisel grind on a dragonfly SE?
Cheers

Thanks all. I do remember Sal's instruction on the dvd but cant find it anywhere, i think i'll mess about on a bread knife before i tackle his dragonfly.

My mate has just got himself a dragonfly frn se and has been quizzing me about sharpening it.

I have a sharpmaker, does anyone have any tips or sound advice for sharpening a chisel spyder edge?

Ok Ok! It turned up yesterday and i love it! Seems a little stiff and the spydie hole is a little small as i'm used to the larger delica but its awesome!

It's easing up a little, i can 'wang' it as me and my mates call it (thumb in the hole and flick it clean open) so i'm happy as larry.

So if a ...

The G-10 version was a run to test the new clip. We also did a forum survey for a while do determine the config of the new FRN version . The new FRN version will have the same pattern as the older version ...

To be honest i cant say i've seen a good 'demonstration' ones, lots of good reviews though.
If you follows Sal's instructions you cant go wrong. I make sure of..

1) The main thing for me is not having to worry about the angle EXCEPT holding the knife vertical, this is a must, you may as well ...

To nerdy huh? I'll get my coat.

I was very involved in the scouting program growing up. As a cub scout, and then a boy scout, we learned about how useful these tools are. I guess that being exposed to knives and learning to appreciate their practicality at such a young age has stuck with me. Being trusted with such a powerful ...

Woohoo! Now all i have to do is wait about 3 months till i can get a Sage III in the uk :)

I've seen people talk about sharpening about once a month, I touch mine up at least once a week. This got me wondering if a use my knife more than most.
I'm currently using my delica 4 ffg.
I worked out in one week i cut.. (i only use my knifes at work)
