    Hey Gents and Ladies,

    So I’m really starting to love my Wicked Edge Field and Sport Pro + Accessory Stones/Strops. I’m loving the consistency and the overall quality of the edges. I decided to give some of my folders and users the mirror polished treatment. Check them out:

    Nice work! That picture of the ZT 03XX makes me smile. I recently picked up a 0300BW and can’t wait to put it on the WE!

    hahaha Mark! Pay attention! The SYKCO has definitely been used — the Infimandu of course was only recently acquired. I’m starting to think you’re reaaaal sensitive about fixed blades cutting paper (among other things) 😉

    No worries — I accept you for who you are 😉

    Thanks brother! You’ll see that once the shoulders are thinned out and once you get a clean mirror polished edge, the performance dramatically improves. Cheers!

    They are Sweet!
    Did you use Strops or Film?
    What grits did you use for the Mirror finish?

    Hey Dave,

    I used 100/200, 400/600, 800/1000, 1200/1600 ceramic, 1.4 micron/.6 micron ceramic, 5/3.5 micron Balsa Strop, and 1/.5 micron Balsa Strop. As has been stated before — the more time is spent bridging grit gaps — the better the quality of the edge. Just redid my ZT0200 last night.

    Thanks brother! Both the Glock 20 and the ZT0200 are overbuilt and very effective. Love mine!
