Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I too would like a broken piece for SEM if anyone has any to spare. It doesn't need to be as small as Hewn's. Hewn, what model do you have? We have a phenom, It can take samples larger than that but that’s the size of the “sticky tiles” we have to mount samples on. Nice, we also have a Phenom. I fi...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
Vera, I think you assume too little of this community. Having a material science engineering degree is, frankly, not that uncommon in areas of niche metallurgical discussion. A sure-fire way to inhibit constructive dialog is to assume superiority, whilst potentially insulting the audience. Instead o...

Re: The best "worst" serrated knives I have ever owned.
I craft end-grain wood cutting boards, which is what is used in our kitchens almost exclusively.VeraX_Knives wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 10:10 amThis is interesting. You use nylon 3,3 or wood? Or polyethylene/teraphalate?
I imagine they would create a bunch of micro plastic shavings on any plastic board as well. Yum, right?

Re: The best "worst" serrated knives I have ever owned.
Won't someone please think of the cutting boards? Those microserrations are the nemesis of my fine boards. I got a couple little free paring microserrated knives when purchasing Spydercos online....they are now banned from the kitchen, and relegated to garden or garage work. Even then, in 90% of cas...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
No one here has mentioned trying diamond film. That's what Tom uses to sharpen his ceramic. Diamond film on acrylic blanks, 1"x6" plates. I have a worksharp professional precision adjust that ill be using. I ordered the 45 micron, 15 micron and 9 micron diamond films and also a nanocloth ...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
Also, for giggles, I tried to see if I could use my hardest waterstones to do anything, maybe polish, or rid myself of some of the toothiness. As expected, absolutely not. Don't even bother. I got a nice mirror polish from my Shapton Kuromaku 2k. It seemed to get a lot of the micro-chipping out as ...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
Ok, I decided to give it another go on manual sharpening this material. After the first session, I think I did not change my technique enough and was likely applying too much pressure in general. So today's plan was to do a 16k (1um) stropping on how I left the Rahven, and check under the scope, jus...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
My resin bonded are Venev Orions. They aren't cheap, nearly $60 each. (1) What concerns do we have about wearing out expensive stones while sharpening this mule? (2) Will anybody attempt to reprofile to a different edge angle? (Guessing not.) I did not consider this with diamond, but my 1200 feels ...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
Ok, here's some anecdotal info on the material. Before diving into sharpening the mule, I had a go at my Rahven kitchen knife. First, I have traditionally done all my sharpening by hand on waterstones. So take anything posted here with that in mind. Second, this material is stupid-level hard, and th...

Re: Elastic Ceramic. Wow!
This material is awesome so far with kitchen use. I am really excited for this one, probably moreso than I was for the Magnacut drop. The mule format should let me abuse it more and really push it compared to my thin kitchen version. However that means I will need two in case the first one fails... ...

Re: The Mule Thumb Ramp
...You can see my solution in my other threads. ... Do you mean the octagon handle solution? I don't see any other mule handle photos than that. But yes, making a tang of the mule handle, and then adding a large octagonal handle, would obscure the thumb ramp. I don't think you ever posted a final p...

I got a couple and swapped the blade from one into a S90v CF N5 body. Works perfectly. Going to do a dye job in the new s90v LW.

Re: The Mule Thumb Ramp
This has always bothered me and I have evolved my scale design to make it comfortable. You can see my solution in my other threads. It's essentially just extending the scales to widen/extend the ramp. I also like to have the scales extend a tiny bit above the ramp to give an index/reference point fo...
