Video notes:

CLAY – watch at the 4:18 mark (personal message for you…) :whistle:

Benchmade 9050 :dry: (Gonna keep it?)

I don’t do it, but don’t see anything wrong with the towel idea (for stones, not strops).

Did you ever eat any BBQ?

🙂

Hey Tuff,

What camera do you use? Interested in getting one myself.

The low sound vids were shot with gopro hero3 silver using remote.—720/30 @ wide. other vids with my beach video camera….h20proof kodak – zx5, but all others from the past have been shot with nicer video camera – panasonic HX-WA10 – H20proof model…old and discontinued or updated to newer model.

tomorrow i will use gopro set at 1080 – narrow and panasonic – u will see much improvement.

How did you open it so that you could sharpen it???
Did it seem like an auto opener to you??

Max great video as always. I have a couple Benchmade knifes they are great knifes worth a few $ too.

I would take the edge up to the point on the Shun it is hard to see whether the knife has been sharpened a lot from the picture my Shun has a thinning bevel behind the primary – cutting bevel which is highly polished and is probable about 5mm wide when new but that angle is very low but if that is not present I would put in a bevel behind the cutting bevel which should be 16Ëš the thinning bevel I would do as low as you can get I managed to get an angle of about 8.5Ëšfor this on my EP but even if you can only get to about 13Ëš this will do the cutting bevel should not be any wider than 1mm preferable 0.5mm. This will ensure a very keen edge plus since he is a friend I would take the edge as far as possible – to the strops . I would avoid any grit lower than 200 on such a steel it may take a bit longer but this is a very expensive Shun probable in the region of 200$ mine is more an entry level Santoku 32 layers of damascus steel cladding a VG10 core
