Agreed. I think my overall favorite Spydie to date was my DLC Para 2. I need to replace that knife badly. Oh what I wouldn't give for a sprint steel with real DLC on it. If i could have my 20CP DLC coated by Spyderco I would be in heaven. I just don't trust the aftermarket coatings like I do the real thing.

DLC 20cp would look amazing! contrast would be great with grey g10

Other than the nice polished job you did the angle looks close to me on your Tuff. What angle is that done at and the micro bevel.

razorsharp · #528

hmm, your angle looks about 19 degrees per side average, maybe your clamp sucks :P hard to tell as the bevel seems to get steeper as it gets to the tip. mine is about 17-18 with a 20 - 21 degree micro, but i am (or used to be, im in an office now) **** on knives sometimes, I might drop mine to 15-16 dps back with a 18-19 dps micro at some stage, maybe a bit steeper , I cant be so certain on angles being a freehander but I think im pretty close

SMF. this edge was done on a home made jig

The single eye in the reflection makes this photo a bit creepy Trav. The edge however is top notch as always.

No make up....eye shadow etc....???

LOL

Good show Travis!

I have owned 3 different Umnumzaans, small sebbie 21, small micarta insingo, large micarta insingo, large 21, and seb 25. The two CRK's I kept are my seb 25 and my small micarta 21. CRK fit and finish is second to none. Nit as rustic and tough as our Striders though. I office carry my small micarta 21 and my seb 25. If you haven't checked out CRK I recommend doing so!

Traded the SMF for a Sebenza 21 and manix XL, I hope to like the sebenza, but have 2 backup trades for either a ZT0560CBCF or a Umnumzaan if I dont like it :)

Nice work. It seems scary to me sharpening a ceramic knife. I need to try it some time.

Your camera, judging by the reflection, looks like my Canon SX200.

Did you use diamond stones to reprofile that zirc?
