That’s because of the blade angle, from the factory it’s set for being more durable. If you start sharpening it with a bigger tilt towards the back it will get slicy. That’s what I’ve done with my alox soldier.

I’ve got to say, coming from super steels on my EDC’s it was an eye-opener to sharpen my Pioneer this evening. Had a bit of a rolled edge and the point was dull. A couple of strokes on a 600-grit removed the rolled edge and raised a burr, half a dozen on a 1000-grit ceramic refined it, and a few swipes on a strop with 3 micron diamond paste removed the bur. Took maybe 5 minutes to have it shaving sharp, and most of that was because I kept accidentally raising a burr while stropping!

That’s one of the things I love about SAK’s. I sharpen mine on a coarse credit card sized DMT diamond plate real quick. I like coarse edges on mine, they seem to slice longer.

Carried an Eco Spartan today:

Today I went to further my skills at a neighbouring town an hours drive away. I forgot my prescription specs and had to buy some servo goggles to get me through the day. I had my 92 Soldier.

Yeah, I lean towards using folders with easy to sharpen steels. Have an s110v Spyderco Military that I just can't make really sharp and it drives me crazy. I own a ton of other knives all of which I can make shaving sharp, just not that one.
 
Happy Australia day! 🇦🇺
