Really stop blowing up my thread with air, Are you trying to get your post count up. My form is my problem. I wanted answers from everyone and answers from the specific Spyderco forum to get a quick answer. unfortunatley I ran into a fanboy, that feels he needs to be respected or something. Nope, move along! I would appreciate any answers from any members that do not just stick with just spyderco products and have an original mind to think outside the Spyderco ceramic triangle rods. Again I want information on round ceramic rod sizes for the serrations on a Spyderco knife.
You're a but thick, aren't you?
Fanboy eh? Not quite (check my per-forum post count if you must), but I do have a LOT of experience with Spyderco products since about 1990. I don't think you quite get just how much experience and research went into the tri-angle rods. But don't believe me if you want to go waste some money. I've been here for 13 years, I don't think I need to worry about my post count. :yawn:
Sals wrong IMHO. you sharpen the serrations away on the sharpmaker and ruin the rods. Im looking for round rods that fit the size of the serrations. Unfortunatlly this I should of just stuck with the gerneral knife section because this thread just got ruined
Sal, the guy who designed the product some almost 40 years ago, is
wrong???
That about says it all here.
Wouldn't have mattered one iota whether the thread was merged here in the Spyderco forum or in the General Discussion forum, the response would have basically been the same. You will NOT ruin the sharpmaker rods by sharpening serrations on them. I
still have an original Sharpmaker from the late 70's / early 80's (was Dad's) that has sharpened plenty of serrations, and the rods are still just as good as the day they were new. Your concern is unfounded.
I know I don't want Spyderco sharpmaker ceramic rods. Im looking for ceramic round rods, maybe a set or kit IDK. Im looking for people that have sharpened spydercos and know the sizes and product that work best for the small and large serrations. Wish I stuck to general discussion but..... thanks again to 1234 for listening and giving me a great suggestion which im looking into. Any more suggestion besides triangular sharp maker rods will be greatly appreciated
HOW do you know that? Have you used them? Spyderco makes some of the best ceramic sharpening stones, and has made a lot of different shapes over the years, round, teardrop, etc. (I have quite a few of 'em) and yet the triangular sharpmaker rods remain. Why do you think that is? Maybe because folks obviously more educated in the field than you are made that decision. Think about that for a moment.
(The shape on the right might look familiar if you followed 1234's link. The tri-angle stones work better. And that an
experienced opinion.
)
Sincerely,
- a "fanboy".
