I have done some searches and I just keep getting more confused....
It all started with a few claims I found regarding the Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker's inability to put a wonderful edge/sharpness on S90V...then I got to thinking, is it ideal for S30V?
So for those of you that know, if you could answer a few questions for me...Thanks!
1. Is the Sharpmaker the best (or as good as *most* other) systems/stones/methods for sharpening S30V?
2. I assume it is since Spyderco uses this steel on so many knives and this system is so popular, so What rods are you guys using for best results to get a blade back to or possibly exceeding factory sharpness? I love how sharp my Para came, but I am always eager to improve if possible!
I see these guys whittling hairs etc. on Youtube. Pretty neat! I can not think of a task I perform where this would be necessary, but if a sharper edge will provide more cuts before needing touch up, I'm in.
I am hoping to get a system for Christmas to replace my old cheap stone and ceramic rods. I was thinking of the 203mf plus a set of UF rods and a leather strop and some paste. I am interested in what some of you guys use if you do not mind sharing some thoughts.
Thanks
