Sebenza 25 Edge?

[Voodew]

What edge does the Sebenza 25 have and what sharpening method is preferred?

Is it a convex edge? Flat V?

Thanks,

Mitch

It's a convex edge, and I believe all CRK folders are. If you're good at maintaining a convex edge, then just keep it that way. But a lot of people end up putting a V edge on them because they can be easier to sharpen for most folks.

So sharpening on a Spyderco Sharpmaker would mean that I would just need to hold the blade at more of an angle to reach the edge, correct? In other words, while sharpening, tilt the spine of the blade a little bit further away from the sharpening rod while running my strokes?

Mitch,
Run a perm marker along the edge of the blade. Use that to adjust the angle you are holding the knife as you run it along the Sharpmaker rods. You will be able to tell if you have the right angle when only the perm marker is removed. If it's not being removed, you are just running across the convexed bevel. Personally, if the knife is already sharp, I would start to maintain it on strops until it becomes necessary to actually sharpen it.

Yep ... why removing extra steel unless necessary ...
