Hey, All:

Thank you for your interest in a smaller Ronin. I have some ideas and will start working in earnest on a design after I return from the upcoming IWA show in Germany.

Stay safe,

Dear DocJekl:

In my experience, the 400 mesh on the SharpMaker diamond rods was too coarse to create a sharp apex. They removed material, but did not produce a sharp edge. A finer grit diamond abrasive (600-grit) did a better job of that.

Stay safe,

Mike

Dear zuludelta:

We sharpen on a hard wheel and WorkSharp's 800-grit diamond stones will sharpen the HIC Mule, so I imagine Wicked Edge's will also.

Hey, All:

The biggest market for our SLIPITs is Europe. Europeans also have a clear preference for PlainEdge blades and rarely buy knives with serrated edges. It's basically a matter of market preferences.

Hey, All:

The HIC Mules are sharpened one at a time by one of our most talented and experienced finishers using a 600-grit diamond wheel.

For at-home sharpening, you'll need a diamond or CBN abrasive of at least 600 grit as well. Finer grit (800+) works even better.

Hey, Yablanowitz:

I stand corrected. I thought it was an Endura 4, not an Endura 2. The photos aren't clear enough to see the steel marking.

The Endura 2 was right-side, tip-up/down.

Stay safe,

Mike
