The edges aren't a big deal with me because I plan on reprofiling anything I get and if the edge is just perfect (my last Spyderco, a Para2CamoS30V, (thank you, thank you, thank you) I bust out the balloons and chocolate cake.
Looks sweet!I've been disappointed by BM more than once. So I stopped buying BM's for a while. I just bought my first one in years and I have to say......it's absolutely perfect. I've exsmined it thoroughly and it's flawless. This makes me very happy. I shall be buying more BM's. Hopefully the perfection of my new Rukus II Automatic is not a fluke.![]()
Thanks. It's absolutely gorgeous. And the auto action is super strong , fast and secure. I'm buying a back up one this week.Looks sweet!
Heck if I know.Aren't those done on the sharpening robot?
Intoxicaed blind robot....hahaha.Heck if I know.
I have received one or two Para's and a S110V Manix that were done by the intoxicated, blind robot. Rolled all along, dull, too wide an angle to be an effective cutter. Heck, even Ankerson thinned and reprofiled his Manix S110V quite a while back and it made buckets of difference in how many ropes it would cut.
Granted the name Manix may conjer up for some images of brick splitting and car door surgery so I suppose they have to allow for that.
My advice is if one has a Manix grind it about half as thick behind the edge and then lay the angles back from like 22° or 20° to around 15°. The difference is startling as far as both easy of cutting AND edge retention. Mine wouldn't hold an edge for beans at the factory geometry.
Yeeeeeaaaaahhh . . . Mr Robot has good days and should have stayed home days.
