Thanks guys...
Epicfail---Yes I have seen the sandpaper and mouse pad thing....I am sure it works and would be a great way to re sharpen the knife if your out and about...if I really cant get it sharp doing it mostly on the grinder I may try it but there are a lot of guys out there that use a grinder and sharpen there knives in the matter of 3 minutes so I am hoping its just a thing of practice maybe....
Jim...Yeh I know that blade I sent you was good but it was a smaller blade not ment to take as much abuse as this one. Have you ever seen the blade sport championships? this knife will be tested with similar stuff that they do. I want to see how far performance wise I can take a knife so I figure similar tests to the world championships will be a good start.....ALMost everything I read says all those knives have a convex edge I think it helps not to get chippy and I think more material behind the edge might also help keep it sharp. IF with a lil more playing I cant get it as sharp as I want well then I will flat sharpen it and see how it goes. Jim may I ask that knife I sent you that you said the HT was really good what tasks/tests did you put it through?
Bob....thank you I know a convex edge will slice through paper with no problem I have seen it done before....it just wasn't me that sharpened it. maybe I will add that extra last step and go higher than 800 grit and see how that works it might make a difference.
