Use the spydie hole or something as a reference. Then take a picture and use that as a reference. Are yo...

i touched up the Delica and the stretch using the 30° setting . Both were sharp anyway but definitely improved on the stretch . Had just began to lose that factory hair popping edge and brought it back nicely . Still thinking about stropping them but they really don't need it . They are way sharper ...

got my sharpmaker
I got it in and sharpened a few older junk knives so far .I got them pretty sharp but not to the level that I've been getting . I guess it technique. Maybe I'll get better as I go . It's a nice setup and probably should be a lot quicker for touch up sharpening , but if I can't get that super sharp e...

Gravity Cut !!!
I've been polishing my Delica 4 with a new stropping compound I just got . Right now it's crazy sharp . I was testing on newspaper by doing a push cut . I let the knife balance on my fingers on the back of the handle and the weight of the knife alone still continued cutting the paper . I've reached ...

Although I'm sure there are machines to hold a constant edge for production models out there , My spyderco's come from the factory ( sharpened by hand ) sharper than any production knife I ever bought . If the angles are a little off , it's a small price to pay for that razor edge you get initially :)
