My bad. The regular K390 Stretch PE, and the K390 SE Delica are on my list.
Thanks,

Does anyone have a good source for an after market Sharp Maker base with different angles? I have 2 Sharpmakers and all of the stones offered by Spyderco already. Hopefully a tighter fit so the stones don’t move around in the base. For example 15 and 17 would be useful for me as I don’t use the 20. ...

I purchased the stretch XL H2 SE when DACK had it for $75 on a whim. I’m glad I did as I now understand what all the fuss is about with the SE and the model. There is a lot of blade for the handle size. I’m a plain edge kind of guy, but the SE blade seems thin, is extremely slicey and just wants to ...

Your son is gonna need larger handles on his future knives.

Chinstrap, great thread. I’ll be watching for the updates. Keep safe.

Got excited about the Endura, but it went to regular price.

How about a k390 military 2 with Spyderco box colors-black with red weave fluted carbon fiber with gold hardware like that used on the Drop’s SG2 Delica and Endura?

Thanks for the great tips. I’m gonna give them a plastic board for raw meats. The plastic meat boards can just go in the dishwasher. I’m still looking for a wood all purpose board. How do you sanitize your wood boards?

I need a reasonably priced, knife friendly kitchen cutting board for a gift to go along with a Tojiro DP Gift Set of knives(Vivi's recommendation).
Thanks
Bruce

Has there been any new updates on an availability of a multi angle base for the gauntlet? (Either official or aftermarket 3d printed?). I love the cats eye rods but really wish for 15 dps and 17 dps angle options. I really want the shim Sal once mentioned, or a base with 15 and or 17 as mentioned a...

Sounds like a great mule team member. I would enjoy putting it through its paces.

The cbn stone for the Gauntlet also feels more aggressive to me than the Sharpmaker’s cbn. Could be that the sharpmaker cBN you have is more worn. Fresh, new electroplated coated abrasives will be more aggressive out of box and will fade with use until needing replacement. You right, mine are worn....

With a possible Big Brown Bear/Spyderco collaboration on the stones?

I also like the oval stones. Yes for an in-between grit (similar to DMT fine 600 grit), and for a 15 dps base. I think the oval stones are more effective because: - they are longer than the SM triangles - they contact the blade edge in a smaller area than the SM flats, so higher pressure at the con...

The way the cats eye stones fit in to the base allows you more choices to position the stones, and fits more securely. The cbn stone for the Gauntlet also feels more aggressive to me than the Sharpmaker’s cbn.

Reacher is a great show. Bring us more episodes now.

I have the Gauntlet and am in love with the oval cbn stones and get better and much faster results than I ever got from the Sharp Maker. The longer stone offers more surface area to grind on with each stroke. Please offer the Gauntlet in more angle choices. I would use it more if it could do 15dps. ...
