Anyone here have a trouble blade? You know that one blade that for whatever reason you just can't get as sharp as your others. I have a few blades ranging from low end fixed models such as S&W to high end customs and I am able to get all of them hair shaving sharp with the exception of one. I have a BM Fecas Snipe made out of AUS8 that I can get sharp but never hair popping sharp. I have croc sticks a big ceramic hone ( which is great
) a diamond pocket stone ( which I hate ) and several bench stones ranging from course to fine and yet nothing I have tried from different systems to different angles ever gets the blade as sharp as I think it could get. Now 1095 is my favorite metal but I have always heard AUS8 is a good metal and easy to sharpen, but this blade though sharp doesn't even feel sharp when I rest it across my fingerpads ( no roughness ).
Anyone else out there ever have a problematic blade?
