Adhesive backed abrasive paper/sand paper? Locally I mean, I'm looking to pick some up tonight so I can get this done.
After a month of owning my current EDC knife with very, very light use, it was put to work of the past few days cutting open all those boxes and packages, so I decided it was time to touch up the blade on the sharpmaker. I had read many times that the current run of most Spyderco knives come with 30 degree edge angles and I was planning on using the 30* setting on the sharpmaker. Colored the edge with a marker and went at it, only to find I had some reprofiling to do. One side only took a few min to do before I had removed all the marker from the edge, but the other side must have been 25* or something, I went at it for 2 hours (knowing what I was getting myself into) on the brown rods and I'm at the point where it doesn't seem like I'm taking anymore of the shoulder off and I'm stuck with about a mm of the old edge on there.
