I am curious just how heavy it really is?

It’s a very nice edge on that model 1880. I partially tore a tendon in my wrist, and those pics definately make me wish it would hurry and heal so I could get back at it.

What does the finished product look like? You’ll have to let us know just how much of a difference it made to your lawn.

Your quite right about the proper bevel on an asymmetrical grind :dry:. Although, I have learned through experience that describing it as a chisel grind was more of comprehensible description than trying to explain a 90/10 or 95/5 asymmetrical. It does seem to hold the edge longer than the symmetrical edge on the M21….still nothing like 154CM.

I have two CRKTs with AUS-8 steel, a M21-14SF and a M16-14T. I’m trying a 18.5 degree angle on the M21 right now. It hasn’t rolled yet and is still sharp enough to cut hair with light to moderate use, but not nearly as sharp as it was when it was stropped at 3.5 microns a week ago. The M16 has a chisel ground tanto blade and seems to hold an edge much longer at 19 degrees. I don’t know if this is because I’ve had it longer, and it’s been sharpened a lot more or what? I agree that either way, it’s a far cry from 154CM or S30V.

This is a really exciting device for those troublesome little guys! How repeatable is the setup? Can you get the knife set in there exactly the same spot each time, or is there some guessimation?

I’m digging through my deleted history to see if I can find a picture of the flag. I’m glad somebody else seen it, or I would think I was the one hacked.

– No luck, maybe somebody else was thoughtful enough to grab a screen shot like I should have done.

The WE site appeared to be hostage all day Sunday, but good it was only one day. Weird definitely describes their theme music.

I can’t speak for ApexGS but I’m married, so I don’t need to impress anybody with scars. B) Just trying to keep my equipment maintained in as good a condition I can. Of course there wouldn’t be any if I hadn’t missed one of the six P’s. Some things are best learned from experience.

Thanks for the reply. You will have to let me know how the AR touch up stuff works on the WEPS clamp and the name of it, if it does. That sounds like it could be the more permanent fix I was looking for.

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely try the tape idea. I have already used a sharpie, but from experience I know it isn’t a long term solution. I’ll have to give myself more room for error by setting the higher angle like you suggest. Thanks again!

The Schrade is now past shaving sharp as well! I nicked my finger when I wiped the blade clean with a paper towel. I didn’t even realize it until it started bleeding a minute or two later.
