Spyderco Forums

Here is something I posted on the blade forums site, so apologies to those of you who have seen it already. I have only just found this forum and registered:

"I have just bought my first Spyderco Knife, a Calypso Jnr LTWT and it's brilliant.What is the correct angle to sharpen at using a Lansky system? What is the best grade stone to use for general work i.e. whittling, cutting plastic ties, rope,and some slicing work? Can I do what Joe Talmadge has suggested elsewhere and do part of the blade with a coarse stone and part with a fine one?" I am a newcomer to sharpening so any advice would be more than welcome

Welcome to the Spyderco forum!! Excellent choice for your first Spyderco.
If I remember the lansky system, you might want your edge at 20 degrees. (I think?) And yes you can do like Joe says. Works great. I'm sure someone will confirm or correct what I've said. Give it a day or two. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
