What Did You Sharpen Today?

Latest before and after video. Customer dropped off a very nice custom made knife and matching leather sheath. He found it in a pawn shop looking rough. he cleaned up the rust and asked for some assistance in getting an edge onto it. Absolutely!!

in the last hour a Kershaw 7150BLUBLK in CPM154, a titanium handled Kizer splinter in S35VN, Kershaw 1812OCLB in CPMD2, and a Kershaw 1600CKT. i like all of my daily tools shaving sharp so they get touched up after daily use.
 
Kitchen knives are the order of the day. Spyderco Santoku, Tojiro Petty, Misuzu Bunka, and Kiwi Large Bunka. I threw my Cold Steel Voyager in there while I was at it. I’m all in favor of guided sharpening now. I use a DMT Aligner clamp with Naniwa Superstones, then strop.
 
Did this Strider SMF freehand today. Atoma diamond stones followed by Spyderco ceramic stones and finished on sharpal strops with jende diamond emulsion up to .025 micron.

This M390 blade was hard, all right. I used bonded diamond stones at 1,200/2,200/3,000/8,000 to get the edge in shape, then I stropped a few swipes on some 3 micron lapping film. This was all done freehand.

This is a good utility knife, narrow enough for the hand-held jobs and a little longer than a paring knife. Low maintenance and sharp.
