hi, recently i got a sykco 911 for about $250 in china , very good knife , and the knives sharpen by Patrick , great job have done :thumbup:

any one else have the same expriences like me , absolute positive.

:D
 
Mike, Beef and most recently Garth have sharpened most of mine that came new from the shop, went in for a spa treatment or second handers that came with the tac-c

Most, if not all, have been inspected by 88

PS: I want 88's job :thumbup: :D
 
Alan put a wicked convex on my CF TGLB, Beef did my NMFSH. My original TG I have no idea because I got it second hand and there was no tactical cardboard sheath. I put a new edge on that one myself.
 
Was looking at my TCSs the other day, Allen and Will also.

I like Beef's the best, but some say he goes a little too thin.

All my users I either end up, or from the start, using a ceramic rod, seems to work well. When I was younger my favorite was a butcher's steel, but now I think I like the ceramic. I have a different steeling rod now, but someone said that the steel doesn't have to be harder. Ceramic is harder, that's why it's used, right? I'm so confused. I do know that the grooves are bad, so I'm in the market for a new steel if anyone has a suggestion.

On a side note, how do you think they sharpen the knives at the shop? Slackened belt sander for the 'vexes and (????) for the V's is my guess?

I think I need some good, modern literature. I have The Razor's Edge book of sharpening, but the copyright is '75 or so I think, there has to be a more modern source with the ideas expanded.

I have to give props to those who know how to sharpen, you really have to be a skilled person to do it! I don't even have the guts to try it, I know my fingers are safer on a keyboard.

:thumbup::thumbup:To all those who sharpen well! :thumbup::thumbup:
