Just giving them all a quick sharpen so thought id post.
From left to right:
Outdoor Edge (AUS8)
Spyderco delica 4 (VG10)
Opinel No8 High Carbon Model
Knives of Alaska Jager Boner (D2)
Svord 350B Micarta Handles
Well it would be left to right if they posted the right way up. Think of it as a Saturday night skills test.
Hmm, I figured it lol
U just use a wet stone and then touch up with a diamond sharpener. Never gets it very sharp. might have to try this emery paper.
D2 is known for being difficult to sharpen. Fine emery paper as suggested or a 2k grit water stone works. Keep a bit of angle on the bevel because its a bugger to chip on bone.
I have a couple of knives in D2 now and find 25 degrees on the Lansky sharpener works really well and the edge holds for ages, I do most of the work on 20 degrees then finish the edge at 25 and use a 1000 grit polishing stone to finish, bit of a strop after and they are dangerous sharp
Really like this little featherweight fox river. Down side is I gave it to my wife for an EDC before Id opened the box for a look
