I finally got a knife to whittle hairs! I recently obtained a Sykco 511 to be my light packin, jack of all trades, beat on it and not worry about it knife. Just like my Sykco 911, it has a thick edge and the shoulders are abrupt. I convexed the edge and smoothed the shoulders out with my worksharp, then stropped it on an old leather belt that I use loaded up with diamond paste. Most of my knives get this treatment and can shave easily but this is the first time I could slice a hair length ways. All the practice finally paid off! Now I just have to get consistent at it...... Thanks for listening to me brag!
