Thread: Best way to sharpen Mercator Stainless?

Best way I have found (but not the only way) is to replace it with a carbon steel blade!

I have an Opinel #8, only downside is it can be a bastard to open if not used for a while. I cut some of the handle away to allow more grip on the blade when opening. Also a carrrying it daily and using it often helps keep it opening easily.

I have a couple stainless kitchen knives and dislike em, not to say that they are rubbish or un sharpenable though.
I am bias towards carbon steel.


It also sounds way cooler.
