Asian Buffalo Mail Brides, I Mean, KNIVES

[Buckaholic]

One man's discard is another man's treasure.

From the pics, I never cared for the jigged Asian Waterbuffalo.
Then I got a lead on a 110 Buckcote with those scales from Jim.
Next, a 110 BG42 from Gary.
And, as of today, a 110 Damascus from Decaff Dave.

The Damascus is moving into EDC rotation as I have wanted to try out a Damascus blade...this should be interesting, to me, as I haven't really used that steel...especially in serrated form.

Given that, I am looking for tips from all ya all regarding the sharpening of serrated.

Nothing to worry about Dave. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
It's awesome and I appreciate it coming from you.

Any tips on sharpening serrated Damascus?

humm have used thin diamond rod on the 124 i have that has them...
also used tugston rod from a tig welder that work well also
that knife is the only one with dm and finger groves with horn i have ever seen so i did not even think to use it ....

Buckaholic, have any of the three had any use yet? They all look pretty new to me. the one with the brass bolsters looks like it may have been sharpened.
sounds like decaf dave going into shock if you use that DM
Nice horns all the way around!

Hidey Ho Hoe3...
Yes, the one in the middle (110 Buckcote) has been used and sharpened. I have not sharpened it since I got it from Jim (WH4F). Jim sharpened it and I would imagine whomever had it before him did too. But I have used it relatively well. Great knife.

And you are right, after reading Dave's reply, I may not use the 110 Damascus Serrated. I'm thinking that I will....but also think that maybe I shouldn't...dunno yet...that knife just screams "I want to cut!!!".

Yes it was sharpened before I received it, I touched it up a tad, not much!
I can't believe you haven't sharpened it yet!! That was quite some time ago!
Is it still in the EDC rotation?
Come to think of it though, I havent sharpened mine yet either...
I love the Buckcote!

Those Buff handles are awesome Goose! Keep the pics coming!!

I use the Buck Knives Diamond taper sharpener for my serrated knives, works great.
Good luck!

emotionly i am over it [i think i am anway]
to me it is like letting a daughter get married.. sniff sniff

Gooser,,,

Lansky makes some hones for their clamp system, for serrated. They work good.

I even sharpened Dads electric knife blades once.....and last......much easier to trash and buy new ones...
