Greetings all.
New to the forum and fixed blade knives. I just purchased the KA-Bar 22 and have a couple of questions. I did not see these questions addressed when I did a search.
Sharpening:
I own both the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker and the Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener (Original). Any issues with using either of these? If so, what might I consider?
I see from the knife spec that the angle is 20 degrees and the grind is flat. The Worksharp does have a 20 degree guide but seems only for thin blades. Seems also to push the convex grind.
Storage:
Is it really required to store knife in the paper sleeve that came with it, or can I simply leave it in the nylon sheath that came with the knife?
Hope to learn much on these forums.
Open to suggestions for sure.
