The Bears' Den--Shirogorov Showcase

Siesta time. To hot and humid for a retired guy to keep working.

I've never owned any knife that was so greedy for pocket time.

Keep em sharp, boys.

Venev bonded diamonds are my go-to setup. Followed by coarse and fine stropping (rough-out cowhide)

I went Old School yesterday with the 440C 100NS Tabargan, kinda like a Benchmade on steroids.

Fresh bloom in the garden today.

Got myself something neat on it's way to me from Russia - been a while since I was really excited watching the tracking info, can't wait to post some pictures!

Anyone know the factory edge angle of the f3ns?

Don't need to sharpen it yet but curious for when I do.

Probably right around 20 dps. The great thing about them is that they are quite thin behind the edge so even a little reprofiling doesn't result in a obvious/wide bevel. They don't take much work at all even setting a known bevel of your choice.

Thanks. I was thinking 20 based off how it looks but wasn't sure.

Srtr , TRfromMT has that right on both counts. Of those I've sharpened, all but my 111 were very close to 20 dps. The big boy was around 22 and I decided to take it back to around 17 which indeed didn't make the edge look overly broad. It sure as heck made it scary sharp and it was done at the same time I tuned the knife up to be a very free dropper. I figured if I was gonna make a thumb guillotine I might as well take it off clean.

I think there should have been a picture attached to this question. And maybe all the responses too. Lol!.
