How to Sharpen Dragonfly? Dull, messed up...

[w3tnz]

Bladefourms has an extensive b/s section.

Delica is a great knife, get your favourite colour in FFG
Ive got a couple of PM2s but recently picked up a D4 and it will be getting a lot of pocket time, a great user.

And stabbing car doors. Don't forget stabbing car doors.

Of course! :D . Coffee, shave, shower, door stab. How else does someone properly start the day?

Spyderco Paramilitary 2 with Digicam G10 handles and black DLC S30V blade.
Anything wrong with the serrations?

Could get this for $84.

That's not a Para 2, that's a combo edge Military.

A good door stab is so invigorating in the morning

Enjoy the Milli if you like Buffalo :) It looks like a fine blade.

Guess this is going off the original topic. (knife has been shipped to Spyderco 08.18.2012 )
I think I'll keep trying to look for a Para2 then.

Just thought it might have been a good deal.

[Evil D]

For what it's worth that's a pretty decent deal for a Military, i think those are typically around $130.

Just snagged for $75. I'm stoked! Also can't wait for my sharpened Dragonfly to come in.

If anyone wants that Military from above, let me know and I can get you the seller's email.

Looks like somebody didn't have a clue about sharpening a knife and went after it with a file.

[BuffaloWang]

So I received the knife back from Spyderco towards the end of September. It was about a 6 week turn around period. Just remembered to post photos for you guys.
Since I'm using a PM2 and are not yet a super knifeaholic, I don't need this one. So PM me if you would like it.











P.S My PM2 is getting dull. How should I go about sharpening it properly? I don't have any stones yet and not sure what to buy.

[setldown]

I would get a Spyderco Sharpmaker.

[Bill1170]

I second the Sharpmaker. They come with an instructional DVD. Well worth it IMO.

The big "UNKNOWN" about this knife of "Buffalowang's" is that it might not even be repairable. I hate to say it because I don't want to bum out one of our new forum members but I would rather him know the truth.

Because it looks to me like whoever did that dispicable butcher job on such a great blade should be taken to the woodshed :eek:

If they did that on a high speed, dry grinder that blade may be trashed out anyway>> thus it would be a waste of time. But as great as Spyderco's customer service is that might have mercy on the Brother and just replace the blade. I hope that's what ends up happening because just to look at that atrocity is enough to make a knife lover puke.

I have people almost on a monthly basis bring knives to me like that and you wonder if their brains aren't made out of kitty litter :rolleyes:

And Brother Buffalowang no disrespect meant toward you in any way. I take it you're probably new to this hobby. So what you Sir need to do is to aquire the skill of sharpening for your own self. And Spyderco's great line up of equipment is the best out there in my humble opinion. I would start by getting the 204 Sharpmaker along with the Ultra-fine and diamond stones that you can buy extra for the unit.

They I want you to get a book entitled "The Razor Edge Book Of Sharpening" by John Juranitch or the "Complete Sharpening Guide" By Leonard Lee.

By learning that skill you'll be able to really do much more with knives that you use on a daily basis.

I will look into getting the Sharpmaker and the books.
If are looking at the photos above, then those are the AFTER photos from Spyderco. If it's from the first OP, then that's the BEFORE

And stabbing car doors. Don't forget stabbing car doors.

They are more effective at that than one might think :P

Going to second JD Spydo & recommend your next purchase be to upgrade your sharpening equipment & practice your sharpening skills.

The Spyderco Sharpmaker as others already suggested - http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=77

Or you can go semi-old school & get a Spyderco bench stone - http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=82

Thanks guys! Selling the DFly now and I'm waiting on eBay for some good prices on a 204

[MachSchnell]

Alright, so it looks like I'll send this in.
While I'm waiting the 3 weeks, I'll start hunting for a Delica/Para.

Any good B/S forums to look at?

They come back from Spyderco nice and sharp.
