  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Reate District 9 Tanto closeups. I reprofiled the primary bevel to 16.2°, and added a microbevel at 18.22°. I ran my standard progression on the primary bevel; the microbevel was done via a few strokes with a 1,000 grit diamond stone; then a 1.4µ ceramic and finally a .6µ ceramic - which got quite a lot of strokes, since it is mostly polishing. The result is a scary sharp & highly polished microbevel that glides through whatever it is cutting.

This is the D9 mounted in the Wicked Edge; it has received a few strokes at 100 grit.
