Anybody ever use a Spyderco Sharpmaker on an Emerson Chisel Grinded blade and had success? My idea of success is having the blade shave the hair off of the back of my hand. Any success stories would be greatly appreciated. If it's not too much trouble, can you fill me on all the details and what ceramic hones and angles you used. Thanks for reading my forum!:confused:

Robert,

I used my 204 to sharpen an older model, plainedged, Commander with the chisel grind. From what I remember, for every three or so strokes (at 30 degrees) on the beveled side, I would run 1 stroke on the flat side to remove the burr. After a few repeats, I'd then run the edge on a strop and it would shave hair with absolutely no problem.....

Good Luck.
