opinel nr8 carbon steel
dmt diafolds c/f xf/xxf then stropping with dmt diapaste 6, 3, 1 micron
all 3 opinels I have did not have an edge when I bought them (really!). The planes of both sides of the knife did not come together.
They can become wicked sharp tough and because of the thin profile are excellent slicers.
no beauty price for the edge, but it's not necessary to get it highly polished. Not bad for $8

after my trip to lapland and some heavy use, it was still pretty sharp, but I couldn't resist to go the extra step :thumbup:
from factory edge to dmt fine to xfine to xxfine, dmt diapaste 6, 3, 1 micron.

Zyhano,
What has been your experience with the 1095 steel? I have an ESEE Izula II edc and will be getting an ESEE-6 plain edge for my backpacking/camping trips. Just curious where the 1095 ranks in your opinion and how well it holds an edge after different sharpening methods.

both have some pretty good carry hours
