The plastic block that holds stones in place are interfering with choil / plunge-grind (don’t know what to call it) of Spyderco Paramilitary 2, making it impossible to grind the edge from heel to tip.
There are numerous knives that are produced by Spyderco that has this, and there are some other companies that have something similar.
I don’t see…[Read more]

I have recently started using Wicked Edge stuff and have had great successes, mostly.
I am not able to get the same sharpness near the handle of my pocket knives (Benchmade Mini Griptilian, Kershar Natrix-Carbon Fiber) as I do get for the rest of the blade. I have tried concentrated up and down swipes but not too much in fear of creating uneven…[Read more]
