It had the worst edge on it I’d ever seen from Spyderco. It had high, and low spots throughout the blade. And the line from the bevel would go up and down on one side in different areas. And the same thing on the other side. The tip also had a growth on it. It was like a piece up metal left behind.
I didn’t think much of it. So I put it straight on the Wicked Edge and fixed it! It is very sharp. It’s easily twice as sharp, as a sharp knife. It’s sharper than my PM2 Blurple S110V lol.
I sharpened it at 15DPS, then micro beveled at 18.5 DPS. And I stropped at 17.5DPS with firm pressure with 14 micron very fast like, then moved to 10 micron.
I use thick leather shoe laces to test my edge during sharpening. This works well because I can test each exact area for perfect sharpness. The heel, and mostly the very tip of the edge. It took forever to get the very tip effortlessly popping through leather shoe lace, as I had to grind a metal lump from it before I could begin sharpening. These leather shoe laces are about 85” long. And cutting just a small piece off each time to test the edge works well, and it last forever too.
It took about 1.5 hours to get it where I wanted it. But it’s fantastic now.
