Hi sal

I have a quick question about the sharpmaker.Myself and many people on this forum would like to see more diamond rods for the sharpmaker.The one that is out right know is great for agressive reshaping.I would like to request
a couple of finer grit rods for finishing steel like cpms90v.Diamods work much
better on steel with high vandium carbide.I can't wait to see the new models
out this summer sal good work.:thumbup:


thx

Hi Gine,

A good suggestion for the future. Right now we aren't making sufficient models to warrant the need, but we do have future plans for higher vanadium steels and higher wear resistant steels.

When S90V, M4, the New S2008V and other very wear resistant steels are production, we'll definitely consider it. For now, I go diamonds to fine grit ceramic.

Thanks for the reply sal.I don't know if it's true because I have not experienced it myself,but I heard people talk about micro chiping sharpening their cpm s30v steel on ceramic rods.They claim the ceramic rods are not hard enough to properly shape the steel.Material is ground around the vandium carbides and they are left unsupported falling out resulting in micro chiping.I guess s30v has enough vandium in it to be better of on diamond rods.??

Can I bug you for the ETA's on.??:D

S2008V! is that from Crucible? Is it 20.08% Vanadium? What are the Specs, and when is it coming?

Please and thank you.
 
I've heard that. but I've not experienced it myself. We began making CPM
S90V blades about ten years ago (it was called CPM-420V "back then").

We have had no problem sharpening any steel on the Sharpmaker. The harder or more abrasive resistant steels might take a little longer. Ceramic is 9.2 on the Moh's scale, synthetic sapphire, harder than any steel. There might be quality differences in different mfrs of ceramic?

Sorry, not etas's, don't know for sure as they often change.

Joshua, sorry, it was a joke. no CPM2008V, just my number for the newest latest greatest steel that will run faster and jump higher than yesterdarium.

Thanx sal
It could of been some other company's ceramic stone.As long as you say it will shapen all steels I will do so.I was just nervous to try sharpening my s30v
knives for the first time after hearing that it doesn't work well on ceramic, but the man behind the best blade steel companies in the world tells me it will work, I'll try it.

thx for your time once again sal.

Ok Sal, that makes sense.
Things do progress rather fast these days.

On that note, Have you looked at MPL1?
 
Sal you tease I was all excited for the CPM2008V! They should let you name the steels because that one hit all my steel nerd buttons. I would pay more for a knife made of S90V
than 420V. even knowing that they are the same steel. S90V makes me think of S30V but with a higher number therefore better. 420V makes me think of those cheap Chinese companies with their 440 generic steel.

I bet if you made up a great name and some hype for the Byrd steel you could sell G10 Flights for 250$?

Too Bad on the name. That is how they started naming the F1 Chassis. F2006, etc. Then if they update it during the year it gets a different Spec. A, B ...

I just started playing around with a Sharpmaker, (by way of upgrading from an old set of croc sticks). No surprise, the Sharpmaker is yet another fantastic product from our friends in Golden. Most recently, I sharpened a MOD CQD MARK II (154-cm), for an experiment, on the 30 degree setting, then I ran it, very gently, over the flat white stones on the 40 degree setting for a secondary bevel. Was that crazy?

Now when can I practice sharpening a 3v "Tuff Concept" on my sharpmaker? Come on Sal, at least give us a pic, a sketch, a fingerpainting, anything... pppllllleeeeaaaaasssseeee????
