it’s NOT recommended, and not that I have seen on YT.  Haven’t seen anyone yet, out to ruin their futuristic knife blade.

Home

NOTHING short of fine diamonds will make good.

Always stick with manufactures recommendations, since they know, and have what it takes to do the right job, in the 1st place.

I believe ”we” are talking
<h4 class=”page-title”>Sandrin’s tungsten carbide blade, recomendations</h4>
on this post.  And all of ”my” comments per this initial post asking about these unique blades is per what SANDRIN says themselves. By posting this video and other under their channel name.

Maybe W.E. isn’t the best sharpener for the job?  I

bought one of these knives, because I’M VERY curious, like many. And it may take me 5 yrs. to really dull it.

I’m not out to beat it, or cut endless cardboard. Just EDC it for very normal tasks.

Some are poo-poo’ing it. QUOTE: ‘‘The problem with the Sandrin knife is getting it shaving sharp. I like 15v, K390, and maxamet a lot more… The effort to maintain the knife is less and they cut better.”

WHILE OTHERS STATE: QUOTE; ”Is it possible to home sharpen Tungsten Carbide? You bet. Much harder than steel, many EDC users may never need to resharpen a Sandrin Polyhedral Tungsten Carbide blade but this condensed video courtesy of sharpening wizard Ben Spaloss shows his process on how to restore a razor-sharp edge.”

I get my SANDRIN TORINO tomorrow, and am looking at W.E. lapping films , ”I COULD NEED IN THE FUTURE” I presently don’t have much of an assortment.

IT’LL BE A FUN RIDE.

CLAY SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS, TOO.

guys are using very tough films, and they are doing it.

SANDRIN KNIVES:  I BELIEVE CLAY NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE, AND DO HIS OWN FINDINGS AND A VIDEO.

THIS IS THE FUTURE.

I know I may be late to the party, but it’s all about lapping films. Just bought the Sandrin Torino to mess with.

NOW, May 2023 there’s plenty of videos about it including one on their website.

There’s a progression for sure.

check edge angle, they say 18 degrees.

30micron / 9micron and very light oil, now/ 3micron/ 1micron…and I bet for the ultimate polish??? 0.1 micron.

I’m going to play with it. Hope W.E. lapping films are up to the test. They say a edge leading stroke is best.

You’ll see more info about it I’m sure as these get even more popular.

BTW:  I don’t like that Edge Tester. I had one 2 days and sent it back. I worked on a Buck 110 brand new (had to clean it up from a terrible edge)

it would whittle hairs. I made a video of out of 5 times testing the edge I got different measurements at least 3 out of 5. Sent video to the rep who does the videos on YT. He didn’t have much to say except the way you hold it, the way you do this and that. Seemed like a bunch of excuses to me.

So, my bench mark is “”whittling hairs”” for extreme sharpness, and thats good enough for me. Sent that damn thing back. It seemed useless for the $$.

and gimicky to me.
