Well it was just a matter of time. The Badger came relatively sharp but nothing extraordinary. After putting it through its paces it was finally time to get medieval. Not too bad for a fatty. :p

Paper cut test. The phone book comes later. ;) Then the arm hair shaving. Sorry but it's dark here and I am an albino. :D

Once again, the Edge Pro to the rescue. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
 
Thanks guys. I haven't been able to go out to the great out doors a lot this year so I have to figure out creative ways to use my INFI.

I tell you what, I wish I had the skills that some of you have at free hand sharpening. I can get my knives shaving sharp freehand but not like i have seen some of you hogs such as Justabuyer do. But I am working on it. :D

I asked Santa (the wifey) for more sharpening stones for the EP. :D


What I like about INFI is that it can take on a really sharp edge and still retain its girth for lateral stress. I think I hear some prying in its near future.
 
christ..where in socal do you live? wanna do that to my BATAC? .....and maybe a few other blades? haha.

I need to grab one of those edge pros.

Spend the money on a EdgePro. It is well worth the money. I recommend it to anyone that wants to easily get a scary sharp edge.
 
I can get my knives that sharp with a fixed sharpener (AKA my Lansky sharpening system) but if I try freehand it is like I handed my knife to a handicapped blind person on crack with a diamond wheel high speed grinder and a hack saw. I am trying to talk my self into trying the sandpaper/mouse pad/block way to re convex the edge on my bowie (it used to be a convex edge, but when I finally had to break down and sharpen it I did it on a Lansky and have been sad since).
 
Do you use your Edgepro start-to-finish to get that edge? How long does that take??? I tried reprofiling an M16 bayo and it took forever. Perhaps I didn't start out with the most aggressive stone.

DANG! That looks nice, tho.
 
I remember trading with thom brogan I think and the knife he gave me had a tripple ground edge on it that was so sharp it was scary. He made a convex out of what looks like an edge pro sharpening system. I have wanted to try that sometme cuz it looked cool.
 
I have an Edge Pro that works awesome! Once crappy, dull kitchen knives have given me scars once sharpened on the EP. I got a user ZTBM that was nicked up and a little corroded on the edge, but once my Edge Pro was done with her she was scary sharp and shiny! :thumbup:
 
Lovely job on that edge, Tyrkon! Thanks for the video, too! :thumbup:

A girl needs a knife...a sharp knife!

I usually start with the 2nd most aggressive stone. Makes things move along much faster. I use the edge pro from start to finish and perhaps strop it on a leather belt at the end.
 
Now if I could just learn to get knives as sharp as BAN does free hand.:eek:

I think BAN should be a verb for getting a knife scary sharp. Like, "I'm going to go BAN on my Badger tonight".

:thumbup::D
 
I think i am going to get an edge pro now. Can you sharpen any size knife (lets say the FBMLE) on it?

Does anyone know a website that sells them for a good price?
