That, my friend, is a KME guided sharpening system!

I love my KME. 1095 is soft as butter compared to modern super steels, no problem hand sharpening. When I have steels with 10-15x the wear resistance and edge retention I break out the KME. I didn’t put my 39 BF knife on it yet but I might throw a fancy edge on this knife but I don’t know. I’ll probably wear down the factory edge then set a better angle on it.

I remember hearing from a friend, “your first KME edge will be more uniform than your best hand edge” and it’s totally true.

Tuna, that's a beauty . . . pure butterscotch.

Thanks! Can’t disagree with you there.

loving the variation so far, looks like from minor observations, the earlier numbers seemed to have been a tad lighter!

What happened to the 92s? Feel like I'm out of the loop on this one.

One knife sample size. My 92 had no issues. Maybe it occurred in the blade delete process? It's a natural material after all there will be variations.

Thanks Jeff, a friend had that in his aquarium and generously gifted it to me when he gave up on tropical fish.

i dont know if it was every one, but over time, the jigging on mine started to chip and catch the fingers. this was from regular pocket carry after I had the delete done. Eventually some of the edges would snag in the pocket and break as well.

Huh, well that's a bummer for sure.

Is it just me, or does it look hollow ground in that picture?

Yeah, 073 is very light. Probably a little lighter in person than the photos I posted.

Lighting tricks. It's the swedge.
