benchmade m390

this is the b.m. m390 sharpened by ankerson
it's really hard for a novice photographer to capture a mirror edge to show the fantastic bevel polishing. a hearty thank you to ankerson for the excellent job.

Dennis,

Uhh...whoa.:thumbup:

Have you done any of Ankerson's phonebook paper push cuts with it?

I bet it cuts just fine...

Best,

Heekma

 

[Ankerson]

Dennis,

Glad you are happy, hope you didn't cut yourself yet.

I am really really close to buying on of these.. does the corrosion resistance compare to VG-10? If so I am definitely buying it. also can the factory edge be maintained with the sharpmaker?

Looks great!

If it's as sharp as it looks it should split atoms.

It's not too bad, but if you want to get a better pic (which I would like to see, of course ), use a tripod and don't hold the knife in your hands. Make sure to use good lighting, preferably outdoor lighting. If not, use a flash (indoor lighting might be enough for your eyes and mine, but not for a camera.)

If you don't have a tripod, then prop your elbows on your table.

Or you know, put an open book on the table, balance the knife on it, then take a picture and the print should show off how polished the edge is.
