Spyderco Forums

Sorry, cutting up pups? :eek:

All my EDC has to be able to shave smoothly, anytime required. That includes the Resilience I have on me as well.

To David,

I read sometime back on this forum that the duckfoot sharpening stone by Spyderco can be used for SE. Forgot who posted that.

PS: I used 'balance strop' (posted in BF thread under Maintenance subforum), and the result is great!

I'm grateful to be part of this forum and for the positive vibes it has always been! I guess I'm lucky that after checking the forum knife and decided it's beyond me, I have yet to check it again, because I have been also into life changing events personally. Still, it's nice to see things turning b...

.. The protruding "Nub" just before the edge digs into my finger a bit. I wonder if I can file that down somehow? If I understand the question correctly, it is the protrusion right before the edge starts, usually referred as 'kick'. You can smoothen it out, but not filing it down. It serv...

Chuck,

Maybe a light coat using superglue (transparent) will make the edge safe enough to wear ... If you really want to

Chuck, congrats! I want you to keep posting, so please don't wear it unsheathed ! :)

zinczinc,

Checkout bladeforums.com/forums. There's a subforum call Maintenance, and it contains many good 'stickied' thread on sharpening.

Super Leaf with flipper is an interesting idea .. Thanks to chuck

Chuck, I have to disagree. The choil itself is currently the kick. To extend the edge all the way requires a flipper tang extension as blade stop when closed, similar to Enlan EL01 (closest I can think of). Try rotating line around the pivot from stop pin to blade.

Having my share of cuts (25 years into knives), I'd second what orange said above. Always project where the knife will go if it slips or through. Remove anything you don't want to be hit by the edge (prevent flesh cut or edge chipping hitting stapler). Above doesn't apply to catching falling blade t...

Joyce, can we at least see the map result?

Thanks for sharing this! I'm wondering when the Valotton gets its turn. :)

I guess big one should be on non locking side, otherwise the lockbar will hit the washer. Glad you got it right. Dn't have Tenacious, but Resilience, yet to take it apart as I see no need, yet

And welcome!

Ha ... Even though I have an iPhone (flame suit on :D ), no mass chatting for me, and no social network either. Pure SMS and talk (existed since perhaps almost 20 years ago).

I do enjoy browsing Spyderco forum on my iPhone though :eek:

Very nice job and congrats for the renewed knife!

It seems no shortening of the blade at all. How bad the damage was?

To OP, Didn't mean as an attack to you, just trying to clarify a point. If the effort so far didn't do good, and without inspecting the knife, the best guess is that you're hitting the shoulder. If this continues, you'd end up resetting the bevel. Intentionally done, it's best using the coarsest you...

Chuck, thanks. It clarifies.

Cliff, I think 3 passes won't show any difference as of now. :)

I have two Resiliences !
