Anyone attempt this yet?
It looks like it might take some patience to do right !
What were the results?
Any helpful observations?
regards,Rick.
 
Well Rick I have but it has been more of a tune up of an already sharp blade. I have not yet had to totally reprofile it or do any heavy duty sharpening on it. But I usually use the Spyderco 204 ULTRA FINE stones and they tune it up great.

Actually so far I am finding it more of a challenge to strop it :eek: IT has a blade geometry and style like none I've yet to see before. But that is one of things I really love about the CAptain. IT is truly a new concept in cutlery. I would give a pretty nickel to set down some day and talk to the designer of the Captain >> Jason Breeden.

This knife is much more versatile than people give it credit for and on the flip side it is going to be quite a challenge to keep it sharp.

Man am I glad you started this thread. I sure hope that Joe Talmadge and Ed SChempp both chime in on this one. :thumbup:
 
Hello,

on my own experience
the Captain is very easy to sharp in free hands with my good old round ceramic rod (a 12 years old Lansky...)

I do it gently and the VG10 hollow ground blade get wicked sharp.

I give more attention on the tip which can hit hard surface but all in all the Captain is very easy to keep sharp.
No big deal really.

Cheers
Nemo
