Thanks to Larry at Bladeart, I just picked up a T-1000 folder. It is truly awesome and confidence-inspiring, and carries very well for its bulk. The edge on mine was not quite as keen as what has been described in this forum, so I went to work with my Spyderco stones, using what I think of as the "Rearic Method" (freehand). I sharpened only on the steel side.
I have never had any difficulties sharpening anything before, but this piece has me beaten. After trying for an hour or so last night, the edge remained very aggressive (it would rip through cardboard easily) but not exactly sharp. Is this the most that can be expected of this kind of edge, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
