Sharpening Frustration!
Hi all,
I just got a small Dempsey neck knife. Very thick spine and tanto shaped blade. It won't cut anything. Not even paracord. I'm a user, not a collector, so I sharpened it with the Spyderco System. It scratched the end of the blade some. Still won't cut. I used a Lansky ceramic stick, still won't cut. The point is the only thing that is sharp. I used my old razor strop, still won't cut. No use in carrying a necker, if it won't cut. Help I thought this thing would be like a razor! Boy was I wrong. I then tried some diamond sleeves that fit over my Spyderco ceramic triangles and guess what, still won't cut.
What can I do? I'm am doing a wonderful job of adding scatches to the tanto end
Your advice will be helpful. The only other sharpening stuff I have is a soft Washita Case Stone, full size and a little Hard Washita Case stone about three inches long. I stopped using these because the Spyderco system is supposed to be better and doesn't scratch as much. I'm disappointed. You guessed that.
Thanks,
Prof Ed
P.S. Mr. Depsey, I still like the knife, just need help.Another member suggested you could help with some expert advice.

You might want to try this question in the General -> Blade Discussion forum.

Also, try reading the sharpening FAQ, sometimes it helps.

Good luck.
