There are two particular knives in question: The first is a CRK Shadow III in A2 and the second is a CRK Large Classic Sebenza in S30V. With my trusty Sharpmaker I can bring both to razor sharpness but I can not seem to achieve the hair popping sharpness that I believe is know 'round these parts' as scarey sharp. After reading several past threads I have tried stropping on cardboard with no success. I have also gone out to the local auto parts store and purchased a few sheets of 2000 grit sandpaper which seems to actually dull the knife rather than sharpen it. Help! Thanks! ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
