Used a sharpening rod on folders

[psy-ops]

I used a sharpening steel on my folders. I have 2 spydercos in ATS 55. I was shocked at the sharpness. I normally don't use a steel on my tactical stuff but after I finished working on my kitchen knives, I felt like doing more sharpening.

I can get a hair popping edge on stone but these knives were able to shave off a layer of skin.

I also tried to use the steel on my AUS8 ABC Hammond. It wasn't effective. I think because of the steepness of the grind.

Anybody steel their knives?

Touched up a Weidmannsheil folder with carbon blade the other day. I too was surprised at what a keen edge it took when using a Sabatier kitchen steel.Nice discovery:thumbup:
