This is IMO one of cold steels best executed folders. The plunge lines are even, the stonewash is subtle but nice, the steel seems to be a solid upgrade from AUS8 Its holding up much better at lower edge angles. CS must agree as the factory edge angle on this tank were 15DPS.
Now on to the fun stuff. I knocked out the factory edge with an Atoma 140, the edge angle was actually an even 15dps on both sides, a rarity for cold steel.
I could have left it there. It was already throwing hairs once the burr was removed. But as always it could go just a little bit finer so onto the shaptons, from the 220 all the way through to the 30k. Then onto a Nanocloth Strop with some Poly Diamond. Heres the end result.
You can see a tupperware in the backround with a pile of Jnats in it.
