VIDEO: Spyderco Military Slicing TP.

Seesh, look at that thing tearing it up. Duller than a butterknife. :P

What do you think it is that makes TP cutting possible? Polish or precision? I've gotten my edges near mirror level now; they whittle hair and everything--that's something to brag about off a 1K stone and a CrO strop. After all though, I still can't get near TP cutting. I'm wondering if maybe having the precision of a guided sharpening system is key.
 
Nice work, Jim. Buffed up the Shallot you worked on before sending it off for a heat treat and got it tissue slicing spectaculah. Of course it'll look like absolute hell once I get it back...just wanted one last hurrah before letting go. Will keep you abreast of what happens.

It's percision mostly and taking it yo to a really fine edge.

Awesome! Do you increase the angle slightly when going to the polishing tapes?

Nope. :D

No need if the bevel is right on and I make sure it is before moving to the tapes. :thumbup:

I edge will look perfectly polished smooth though a Magnifying glass under light once I am done.

Is D2 harder to sharpen than ZDP?


I just managed to get "hair whittling" consistently on all my knives, and now Ankerson has raised the bar. :p:D

One thing with sharpening is that it is a continuing learning experience and that's what's fun about it.
 
Phew! I misread your title. I thought it said, "Spyderco Military Slicing OP" -- yikes! Glad I was wrong, Jim.
