Re: Goldenstone breakthrough and the best SE strop I've ever used

Regarding the strop for SE, you should consider buying some leather ropes (around 2 to 5-6mm) used in leather crafting and glue them properly on a board (or even a convex support for hawk bills). A little compound and go !

As a hobbyist leather crafter, that’s how I sharpen some of my special tools.

Military 2, pacific ffg, lil chokwe.... should be quite a great year !

It’s quite amazing to see that there is such a few releases before Christmas. Spyderco is taking care of our children by saving us some money to get them decent Christmas presents :-D

Re: The hawkbill learning experience

I’m with you lol

I would dream of a more elaborated construction hawkbill salt, like a Caribbean Hawkbill... not that the Tasman is bad, just to honor properly how great these blades are !!!

Re: Regrinding the Nirvana?

Without regrinding it is not too difficult to get a nice smooth finish by polishing with different grit size sand paper, have a look to some YouTube video about dyi knife making. That might be an option.
