This is one of my Benchmade Strykers:



and attached is one of the Kershaw Blur that Curtis Womack gave me.

Now that came out tremendously well! How far up the grit scale did you go there, that looks a lot more polished than the standard 3.5u that I've seen before.

Say, isn't that a 10K Chosera finish?

On both the Kershaw and the Benchmade, I used the standard diamond stones, then the ceramics and then the 5/3.5 strops and the 1/.5 strops. I think I may have gone on to the .25 strops but don't remember now.

Funny you should ask.... I happen to have two identical Benchmade Strykers and for fun, I sharpened one with all the Choseras and the other with the standard Wicked Edge array plus the ceramic stones and strops in 5/3.5/1/.5 and I think .25 microns. The one in the photo happens to be the one with all Wicked Edge stuff though it's hard to tell the two apart.

Fantastic edge Clay!

Well, certainly nothing to complain about there, wow. Was talking to Ken last night, now there's all kinds of stuff that I'm going to need to try!

I wonder how the CBN would look on the same size progression, compared to the diamond.

Thank you!

I do too. The only CBN I have right now is .125. I'd love to experiment with the full range, just need to convince Ken to get me some samples.
