Wish I had the ability to get that kind of sharpness! I can shave hair, but typically have to scrape against my skin with a little force haha.
For me the secret is making sure I'm actually hitting the apex, and using very light strokes. How coarse or polished I go, or which steel I'm sharpening, doesn't seem to make a lot of different.

It's especially easy after grinding a new bevel, since I know I have a fresh apex. Sometimes touch-ups can be frustrating because you think you're hitting the apex, but you're grinding too acute.

Cleaning your stones helps too! Freshly cleaned stones cut a cleaner edge.

You should see if you can do the wire clip mod through the lanyard hole if you don’t use it. Looks like it will put the pressure point right on the Spyderco emblem where you want it.

Do you know if you can order the wire clips from Spyderco?
Foundry clip will do all that with a proper deep carry location. Give SFO a call and thy will likely hook you up.
