Thread: Best way to sharpen Mercator Stainless?

They do their intended job well, which is to be a cheap compact usefull pocket knife. I'd love to get hold of an older model.

It would be cool if somone did somthing similar but with a better steel that's still cost effective like A2 or D2 or similar
