Last year when i retired i end up with a new crk umnumzaan in magnacut. A lucky fine online late one nite . Plus a weeks later a ric, hinderer half track also in magnacut.
The zaan came with super nice edge easy maintain and damn sharp. The hinderer came sharp but not that super edge. It resisted my efforts to to put that super edge . I just use a sharpmaker never stones any more, ! My eldest grandson is a knife guy . He has a nice collection plus my ex bought him him a work sharp. And has produced some very fine edges after he learned the system. I was a .little hesitant to hand the hinderer over to give it a try ! Well I did he ask if I wanted a 20 degree. I said would you try a 17 or so . Well he got me a great edge . So now I can test it in normal day to day use . I always have my old sebenza and a swiss army in pocket. I am an old farmer, woods walker, hunter by nature. So my knives are a big thing . Osage, black locust, oak and sadly ash are abundant. These aren't called hard woods for nothing.
