Jack, I would have to say that when I begin sharpening, I "set" the angle and just grind away until it's formed an apex i.e. is sharp. I'm careful to maintain similar angles on both sides of the blade until they naturally come together at an apex. If I desire a higher degree of sharpness I...

That Mini-Police is just something special, spyderedge, lockback, titanium, all in that teeny tiny package! I would like to see Spyderco come up with another "Mini" offering with a fully functioning lock.

I love this one. Feels great in the hand. They put a pretty nice polish on it too.
