Hi Kat, I think the older one with only one hole is an older version. I think the newer version with the 2 sets of anles would be the best. We don't sell the base without the stones as the old stones are slightly different. sal Well, I know my other sharpener is around here somewhere. I'll find it....

After all, Sprint Runs are like buses and women: If you miss this one, there will be another coming along in ten minutes. :) :eek: :D I dunno, I rode a few "buses" before meeting my wife, but haven't considered any sort of "XFER" since tying the knot with her. She's my keeper. A...

Shaman in S30V & a Double (Bubble) Bevel!

And a set of Jade G10 scales from SharpDressedKnives.

As I've been moseying back into the Spyderco fold, replacing my Cold Steel tanto with a Spyderco tanto has been rolling around in the back of my mind. I was looking at the Bob Lum knives on eBay, but they're too pricey for me. Then I stumbled across another Bob's tanto: the Double Bevel. $200 on eBa...

Please tell me what you did so I can blame you for it. :p :D :D Because Doc I think you and BLOKE would run with it :D So in that case I'll let sleeping dogs continue sleeping. But a couple of the Brothers have made a point that we as a nation are going to some extraordinary times>> with that said ...

OK. I watched the Spyderco video & got inspired. Dug out my Sharpmaker, grabbed my Native Stainless Steel. It sharpened up nicely with about 80 strokes on the grey stones (edge & flat). It now shaves paper fairly well. Another turn on the gray stones should do it. I am impressed. With both t...

Hi Chris, I don't recommend lubrication on the ceramic stones. I believe they work better dry. The corners of the medium stone work best once broken in (see video) When it comes to diamonds and CBN, the only reason to use any lubrication at all is do be easier on the abrasives. The diamonds and CBN...

Start with the cheap knives, and don’t move on to the better stuff until you’re confident. I have a few generic kitchen knives in the drawer that I'll start with. I also found a wood handled Chicago Cutlery chef's knife this evening that came from my mom's kitchen. I don't know it that's a bomb bra...

Sorry to continue the sidetrack, but... We had a pet kangaroo. Can't say they make good pets, but had fun with it till it bit my Dad on the butt as he was coming in the house one night from working the night shift. Bit him, like a guard dog? That kangaroo has a pretty big hacky sack. Can you get a ...

This is a clip from a Saturday morning kids show from the '80s. I still remember watching this at the time with my sister and laughing til we almost cried at the mayhem that Rags the Red Kangaroo caused in the TV studio: :D https://youtu.be/SYaIDupJXcs I think Rags won that fight. He even got his k...

That said I’m fairly idle and use the stones dry but Windex does make a noticeable difference and works just as well on diamonds. :) I'm with Cambertree, I'm not keen on inhaling steel dust, so I may try both water & Windex to see how I like them. Is your avatar photo real? Do kangaroos hop aro...

He talks about sanding bronze washers, but I can't seem to find any information on the subject. Just put some fine sandpaper on a flat, hard surface and polish the washers under light pressure from your fingertip. Go easy with the sanding and use something in the 1200-1500-2000 or 2500 range. You c...

He actually is a member here under the exact same name, but does not post a whole lot. I enjoy his videos. He presents well & is amusing. Actually the commenters in his videos are a good part of the show. I still can't figure out how the heck someone born in Kali can sound like he does, even wi...

If you ever watched Nick Shabbaz, he is overdoing it IMO.

Speaking of "The Nick," does anyone know if he hangs out here? Under an assumed name, I would guess.

He talks about sanding bronze washers, but I can't seem to find any information on the subject.

My wife bought a bottle of MCT oil derived from coconutz. It doesn't solidify like coconut oil. I'm sure it rancidifies, though.

Mineral oil sounds like the ticket.

Is there any reason not use something like olive oil to lubricate a knife? I'm not a big fan of getting, say, 3-In-One, on my skin, much less on my food if I happen to be using my Spyderco knife in the kitchen. Empty pen oilers are available, so you can fill it up with your choice of lube. Maybe I'l...

:) Good idea!
But I am pretty sure he won´t recommend lubricant for the SM. Would have done so on his instructional dvd already I figure

I'll bet you're right.

Hopefully he will address the pros & cons of sharpening dry vs wet to give some context.

Maybe more experienced people than I am can chime in on that.
Still, Spyderco does not recommend using lubricants with the SM, and most people use ´em dry it seems:

I'm waiting for Sal to chime in, since he's the Spyderco Sea Daddy.

Do you use a lubricant with the CBN rods?
No! All rods for the Sharpmaker are designed to work without any lubricant. Never, ever heard that someone would use them other than "dry".

Cliff Stamp talks about using lube here:
