Tony’s latest RAT.

[Big Mike]

The sabre grind on this RC-5 was a lil thick, but still cut well. I however prefer a thinner edge, so I asked Mike to thin it out and convex it.

Tony, I’ve been very impressed by this knife.

It did cut well as delivered…and only cuts better now.

This is one serious knife for the money. :thumbup:



I might have to pick-up one these for myself…

Mike, Can you give me a how to on that convexed on the rat, it came out amazing. and did you strop it?

I do 99% of my blade re-profiling on a belt grinder.

I would say it’s the same for 95% of my sharpening.

I do use leather hones (strops with solid backing) with black and green BRK&T compounds to refine the edge, I even strop on bare leather for a super refined edge when needed.
