Conversely, are there issues sharpening softer steels on metallic bonded and resin bonded diamond/cbn stones? I remember seeing warnings from certain vendors about it.
Like will I cause accelerated wear from sharpening $10 Dexter Russell's on one?

You can't preorder sprints in general
I like the k294 mule. Now you can complete your 10v/pma11 collection!

There's 3 (?) versions of clamps available for the r2, each with their own pros and cons. Contact gritomatic directly, they're pretty helpful

Does the zdp/hap40 come laminated from Hitachi, or is it done by a processor like takefu ?

I like g carta depending on the pattern, but according to a chat I had with the trm/Halpern guy, they encounter lots of voids and delamination during the manufacturing so they gave up on it

Re: Para 3 Lovefest, Where Did It Go?
It's the opposite of little big knife for me. I can see the appeal of a chunky little guy, but not quite my cup of tea. I don't use clips, and it's a bit sketchy for a knife with no real closed bias. Also, the LW is blade heavy for me, compared to the native

Of all the blade steels that Spyderco ever used I found to be a monster to sharpen the older CPM-440V has to be my most dreaded of them all.
