Spyderco Forums

Just sharpened mine, pretty much as I do other knives. Cut of old edge, shape with extra-coarse DMT, and refine and finish with diamond side of the Fallkniven DC4. The finished edge could split a head hair.

I have not really sharpened mine. Only checked for a wire edge with a few light passes on the diamond side of my Fallkniven DC4. Nemo wrote a pease about his experiences with is Lil'Nilakka HERE.

Mine arrived yesterday. Nice little knife!

Excellent information! Mine is on the way. :-)

Thanks for the insightful video!

I wrote down some of experiences with the Polestar for Nemo's Knife Reviews. Have a look!

Thanks for posting Nemo!

I got one at the Spyderco meet. Very good quality. Smooth action, centred blade, excellent fit and finish.

That was another very enjoyable Spyderco meet. Great knives and people! Good to meet you Larry_Mott! :-)

Thanks for explaining the hows and the ways of your sharpening philosophy Vivi! I have no experience with CTS204P so I can not help you there. I do how ever, like you, thin out the edges of my knives to improve the cutting ability. It makes using the knives more secure and enjoyable! Looking forward...

I think knife maker Joe Calton shows the basics very well in his video's. Master that and take it from there.

Hi Arend good to see you here again!

Nice pictures of a pretty knife, Spydergirl88!

IIRC AEB-L is fairly close to 12C27 or 13C26 and remember Kershaw using them a lot, but not anymore and wondering why? AEB-L = 13c26 but from a different manufacturer. Kershaw ran there 13c26 much to soft for high performance. AEB-L can easily be hardend into the lower sixties Hrc. 61-63Hrc is not ...

Low carbine steels work well for me. I have not used AEB-L myself but have read that it is one of the best. It is used in the industry as a razor steel!

Devin Thomas, the damascus smith, has as a high opinion of this steel as you can read HERE.

Mine arrived yesterday evening and is in my pocket as I write this. :-)

Thanks Spyderco and British Blades! You did good!

Thanks for the WIP! Very interesting to see a knife come to life!

G'day JD, These little razors make exceptional small game knives. Don't let the knife's diminutive size trick you. I used a ZDP to take a fox tail last weekend and dress a couple of rabbits. The knife seems tailored to the task. I'm sure you'll love it any way you use it. Thanks! Seems like it is w...

Just got mine form a Dutch forum.

That is a good and useful looking knife! Thanks for showing!
