That's a Paramiltary 1 ! I went straight to the 15 degree setting, and tried to sharpen the knife by bringing the bevel to the 'clicking' point on the stone, like Vivi mentions in his video.Wartstein wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 10:34 am
Looking at the edge it looks like that at first you tried the 15 degree setting, but did not hit the apex (but higher up on the blade) and had to use the 20 degree then? Or are you in the process of thinning out or even reprofiling?
Just asking, cause while my particular Pac Salt SE came with an angle of closer to 20 degrees, while many said theirs came with more or less 15... wonder how this is on the PM2...EDIT: Meant to say Para 3 of course
I figured that since my former PM2 was at 30 degree and my Millie is at 30 degree, I'd go with that.

Right! Looked like the Para 3 on my phone screen (mainly due to the just 5 scallops of the serrations)
/ Ok, so you set up the SM at 15 degrees, but then did somehow "freehand sharpening", since you tilted the blade till the angle was right? (And did not strictly go perpendicular to the ground up and down)?
Was just asking in my precious post, cause there is a line on your knife where the black coating is removed just where the apex ends towards the primary bevel. That´s typically the case when one tries to sharpen a lets say 40 incl. (PE in that case) apex on the 30 incl SM setting.

I think it was the first sharpening since the factory one.Wartstein wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 11:42 amThomC wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 11:28 amThat's a Paramiltary 1 !

What I did was :
- SM set at 30 degrees with a single rod
- put the heel of the blade on it and adjusted it until it clicked on the rod
- made my 6:1 passes from there, deburring with the knife almost flat on the stone, going upwards
It felt like the same angle as the original one, so maybe I was just a little too tilted on the rod ? I know I went straight down, no following the curve of the blade. Keeping the spine straight and perpendicular to the base.

Can't believe I held out so long before getting one! The Delica platform is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Strangely I only have a few lil Matriarchs, Tasman, and now this fantastic FFG SE Wharnie. Do we have confirmation that the upcoming K390 run will be released in a Wharnie?

Not much wharnie-experience, but the Delica for me still is clearly the best Spyderco in its size category, and ffg SE a great choice anyway... maybe I'll get one too.. :rolleyes:
