The Double Bevel

[spyder_happy]

Hello all,

I was passing through my local B&M and came across a Double Bevel. First impressions were good; loved the open design and how light and slim this model is, but I wanted to know if any one carries one of these models regularly and what their experience sharpening has been? I think it would be a good knife for my off days, and is competing with a Kiwi 4 for the next knife I buy. Actually any input on either would be appreciated!

It's a cool knife and I'd like to have one one day but it's one of those I want to handle first. Sharpening seems to be the tricky part not only because of the two grinds but the tanto style blades take longer too.

Tanto and double bevel sharpening dream.lol

The one instance I held had a very even edge grind along the whole length of the blade, even at the transition point between grinds. I have been try to wrap my head around how to sharpen the tanto point...

A trick that I use, (as silly as it may be) is to wrap the whole blade in tape EXCEPT the tanto tip while sharpening. That way I can focus on just the tip alone, instead of having to worry about crossing into my freshly sharpened straight edge portion.

I love the look but its a pointless grind.its three blades in one but work's as one crspy blade

Just my typical daily tasks, cutting fasteners, boxes, tape, scoring marks in material, occasional wire stripping, etc.

As much as I like this knife as is, after seeing another old thread here, I might want to pick up another Double Bevel and have someone reputable regrind this to a near ffg "single bevel".
And most of my uses I seem to do alright with the "Americanized tanto", although the point wears quick and a bit cumbersome to sharpen. But, I think a regrind like in that other thread would be primo! This thing carries so slim, packs good blade length into a small modest handle, and my particular knife is VERY smooth!

Neat pic! looks like I will be adding this one into the buy list as well.
