I know this knife quite well. We use and see a lot of them up on the ranch. The flat stones work fine for the recurve blade. My only complaint about this knife is the steel - I would love to see the same knife in S35V. I'll check with shipping and see if yours can go any sooner, if not, please send your knife and I'll put a great edge on it. Our address is:

It sounds like you are a little ahead of the curve, based on member's responses on this thread. Also, my ship date is Nov 11, but I leave for hunting Nov 11. Can I send you an interesting knife to try out, so I can bring it on my trip WE sharp? www.outdooredge.com/SwingBlade-p/swingblade.htm  The steel is so-so (AUS8), but the cutting under the skin for the banana shaped guthook is great. If you have good luck with the recurve part, let me know what you used. I assume you may use curved stones, but you may be able to sneak in the straight stones. I would like to have the blade edge stropped out wicked edge sharp, but I am not sure what you can do with the WE on the recurve part of the blade. What address should I send it to? |

Sweet! Can't wait to play with those diamonds, they'll lay down a base for the Shaptons that'll be showing up later this week.

I'm certainly looking forward to it, I'll be sure to share my experiences with them here. I've had good luck with the Chosera stones, so I think I'm really going to get a kick out of their competition as well.

Sometimes I ain't that sharp.

Sweet! Means mine will probably be heading out before too long as well.
Actually took the WEPS down to a favourite coffee-and-sandwich place the other day and sat at a table working on one of their knives (which was AMAZINGLY dull) It was such a bad one that a 18-dps setting took a couple minutes to actually raise a burr with the 100-grit plates! Lacking the fine stones as yet (before I got my shaptons as well) I ran it down through 600, then gave the edge a few licks on my Sharpmaker's fine rods as a finishing step at 20-dps. They were amazed at the knife, and the WEPS drew a lot of interest! |
