I have zdp Endura P & SE; and a Strecht 3 zdp. They motivated me to learn all I could about sharpening freehand. Use the Sharpmaker afterwards. Hear a lot both pro and con about zdp and i agree with mastiff, it is a steel ( another medium for a blade) If you get to know it; it will not dissapoin...

The Superhawk is no clunker; it is strong, smooth and not overly heavy imo. the Sage is a beauty and my only dissapointment is that I had to send them to Spyderco because of tight screws. the knives were absolutely in great shape except they did not want to be lefties. I own 19 Spyders not counting ...

Left is right

My better half talked to Christina today and and she was told to send both knives to her attention to "nip the problem in the bud". Needless to say, she was very nice and I must add that both the Sage & the Superhawk are exactly what I expected. As a lefty since birth, I must acknowled...

I've been carrying the Lava as an Office EDC since it came out. I sometimes alternate it with a clipless Lava with a Lanyard for deep pocket carry. The Lava is my favorite LBK to date, period (Kopas and Kiwis come close though). Although I think the Lava would be the best candidate for a 'subcompac...

I like the idea of the Navaja. Here is a pic of one I just purchased a few weeks ago. I had uploaded it in the Non Spydie purchases. http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z312/miguelo_conguero/DSCN0325.jpg Muy bonita y afilada navaja, nice music to go with it. The navaja folder will fit Spyderco nicely

Hello Ed, I would like to see a folder with 5 inch blade based on the spanish or basque "navaja", those ratcheting huge folders. It should have a clip. Hi Ed, I second it. It is great to be inspired by blades that illustrate the creativity of man with iron and steel all over the planet. A...

Another Sharpening question

Hi,
I'm learning a lot from the forum; the China debate was particularly interesting, not to mention the great suggestions on steels and sharpening PE & SE's
Any good advice on the best way to sharpen Combo Edges?
Thanks
