CTS-XHP/Duratech 20CV?

[cziv]

So, what would you recommend I get to sharpen 20CV? I was planning on getting a Sharpmaker, would the optional diamond triangles work? Or should I just use my XM-18 with the CTS-XHP blade and use the Sharpmaker with the stones it comes with?

Most use a sharpmaker. I'll probably do mine when the strop doesn't work on it or send it to the Ranch for Rick to sharpen it.. If I do it - will be in two parts the tip and then the flat of the blade. I used dmt hones on my son's and forgot to do it in two parts and rounded off the spanto. Glad he's not a knife nut or he'd have been really po'ed.

Get a edge pro ! No steel gives this system any problems

Thanks for the suggestions. I might go with the Edge Pro Apex, seems like a really nice setup.

BT, for field sharpening, I would recommend the Fallkniven DC-4 pocket stone. For bench sharpening, the Edge Pro Apex with added Japanese Stones. Just my $.02.
