Removing S-curve on Tyrade.

[nozh2002]

I resharpen Tyrade, and because S-curved blade does not match my tools and method I had to remove it first. This time I starts timer to see how long it will take for DMT Extra Extra Coarse to do this job. It takes 35 minutes only to make blade straight!

I sharpened it to hair whittling sharpness and it make long curving shave after Green Rouge. To me that indicates that CPM D2 bit softer then ZDP189 and CPM S90V - they require 100000 Mesh diamond powder to get to this state.

Thanks, Vassili.

You took the curve out of your Tyrade? You crazy bastard!

Let's see it!

I do not think it looks much worse then before...

Thanks, Vassili.

Looks great and is more functional than before IMO.

I like recurves, but you're right, it's barely noticeable that it's been modified. Well done!

I like it much better this way, actually! I found it a little over-dramatic before, and I've never been a huge fan of recurved blades either. Awesome work!

Nice Vassili!! I hate recurves, yet like many knife designs that have them, like the Trade, 0200 and Skirmish. Nice to see that it possible to do with the d8xx!
