I'm in for one

I watched all his IG testing on the HIC mule. Its still tougher than previous ceramics used for Knifes. In the end its still ceramic so proper use will be important to keep it from chipping.

Got HIC mule today and worked on sharpening it as it was not very sharp at all on arrival. I Have venev diamond stones and was attempting to match current angle apprx 18 dps but not super consistant so i knew lots of work was ahead. Started with 400 but it was SLOW!! Dropped to 240 and when I finall...

Count me in for a stretch 2!! :spyder:

Maxamet Native 5.

Linerless g10 or cf, compression lock and a deep carry clip would be perfection.

Tough decision between this and the carribean salt

I would like to be entered in the drawing. Appreciate the chance!
Thanks :spyder:

The PM2 has been sharpened once and has developed a chip again. The domino has been sharpened twice as it had ...

Thats strange. I primarily use 204P, in both a Military and Domino. They've yet to chip. I check them with a 14x loupe. Of course, I'm not real hard on them either. Just general knife use, if you will. And, I'm not discounting what your saying either. For me, 204P has been exceptional blade steel. ...

UPDATE!! I have changed to 18 DPS and my issues have all but disappeared. I did have one issue cutting frozen pizza at work causing an edge deformation on the domino but that is it. I'm unsure if adding to the overall angle or just grinding away the factory edge helped with the chipping but it seems...
