Steel upgrade for Delica

[DeadboxHero]

And edges; I won't let my girlfriend take a knife out of the house if it won't shave (a dull knife is as useful as an unloaded gun, IMO).

I use an Edge Pro with common stones and I don't have any significant problems. I find it helps me clear my head to sharpen a knife; I have to pay attention to what I'm doing and how I'm doing it to get the results I want.

There's plenty of room in the world for those who obsess about steel and those who obsess about design and those who just want a piece of sharp metal. Takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, you know.

Haha I'm the same way. Dammit it must be sharp at all cost!!

HOW do you get an edge that nice? :thumbup:

Easy with a small blade like the dragonfly, 10 degrees per side with the edge pro!

I'm not familiar with the edge pro (just hear about it) but it does the buffed looking edge?

It can, with the right stones, a strop, and some patience.

Genius!

And, I found one!

Glad to help.:thumbup: I've been thinking about buying a S110V knife lately myself, and have been trying to decide between the Native 5 and Manix 2. I wouldn't mind having a Stretch in HAP40 either. There's just too many choices and not enough money.

More beautiful edges (warning, another kind of rabbit hole chase):

Definitely. Stones progression and LOTS of patience.
