Well, gentlemen, I'm back—with new custom abrasives, a new microscope, and, most importantly, a NEW TYRANT BOWIE Z-TUFF with a custom sharpening at 23 DPS.
Why this specific angle?
1. It’s fun.
2. I’ve got some absolutely wild tests in mind that I’ll share later.
3. It’s CRAZY fun because this is insanely sharp.
I’m posting in this thread instead of a detailed one because I haven’t fully mastered my microscope yet. So, for now, I’ll just show you an intermediate result, which, honestly, is already the best I’ve ever achieved. And you know what? It’s probably one of the sharpest blades you’ve ever seen. Plus, it’s proven in a real sharpness test that can’t be faked.
This is the result at around 1000x magnification, after polishing at 15,000 grit, giving me essentially a mirror finish.
You know what I absolutely love? The fact that Z-Tuff steel takes this kind of sharpening so easily, and thanks to its toughness, I get ZERO chipping—absolutely none, like it just doesn’t happen!
Look at this miror!
Well, as usual, here’s the sharpening result.
That’s all I can show for now, but as soon as I get the hang of the new setup, I’ll show MORE!

The Fell Beast goes to work with me everyday and has served me very well. The CPK Signature Series SDFK is its truck mate. All other knives I own are on rotation. Thank you for making such a purpose built, comfortable, and beastly super machete !

Thanks man! I love the Fell Beast. Its a ton of utility in a pretty light weight package that still packs a punch. Maybe some day Ill do another run of them.

Tyrant in its natural working environment.I processed 350 pounds of beef, separating it from fat and bones, and the last 40-45 pounds I cut into these small pieces — all of this:
On a single sharpening.I also took it into the woods and chopped wood with it, several times.
The fascinating thing is that in real-world use, you discover that tough steel holds a cutting edge amazingly well.
