When can we expect these? Sure would make sharpening some of these RC60 knives easier.

Diamond Sleeves for Sharpmaker
- Thread starter Craven Moorehead
- Start date
Hi there:
For "sharpening" the sharpmaker does whatever is required. You might need diamond sleeves if your blade is heavily chipped or you want to change the cutting angle.
Be careful with diamond hones, they make MUCH deeper groves than ceramics and it takes some "pain" to get rid of them.
Happy sharpening

Hi Craven. Welcome to the Spyderco forum. We're currently working on a replacement for the sleeves. They will be full triangles rather than sleeves. We don't have a delivery date as yet, still having some probs with diamonds.
Z&Z, Thanx for that little known fact.

Hi Craven,
Welcome to BF and the Spyderco forum. So long as it's occasionally cleaned, the corners on the med stones are quite aggressive. If you have a blade with chips or dings, try steeling it before sharpening. (You can even use the Spydie fine stone for steeling.)
Diamonds do eat away steel more quickly than the ceramics stones, in my experience. Until the Spydie diamond hones come out, you can simply lean a large diamond stone (DMT, Eze-Lap, etc) against the Spydie ceramic, to use its pre-set angle (15 or 20 deg).

Thanx for the info gents. I'm looking forward to those diamond rods Sal. Like everything else I've purchased from Spyderco I know that they will be top shelf.
