My copy came supersharp from the factory. 😊

why not do that for both sides??

Where did you buy yours?

yeah!! we back!

Glad to see you guys. 🙌🏼

The premium cbn it supposed to be lubed right?

What are the angles for that tanto?

I imagine Rex 121 would be like Maxamet in that you really can't sharpen it at a low grit. If you have to use a coarse stone then you pretty much have to restart and raise a new burr on a finer stone. I use DMT stones and I do 99% of my work with Maxamet on the 600 grit. The 325 is okay for reprofiling but the 220 absolutely will leave you with a bunch of micro chipping. Once you get a new edge on it and get it fully sharpened it should be like Maxamet where it barely needs some light maintenance work which can be completely done on just a medium 600 grit and 1200 grit stone. It seems counterintuitive because most high carbide steels are better with a toothy edge but that's low hardness high carbide (think S90V and s110v). Ultra hard high carbide stuff like Maxamet and Rex 121 do best in the 600-1200 grit range and I get the best balance of edge retention/toothiness with a 1200 grit (9micron) stone and an 8000 grit (3 micron) polish on the strop.

What grit do you go up to

About to purchase my first tsprof. Do you think it’s necessary to buy the center clamp? Also, one of my knives is a sebenza, any expeirence or advice regarding there convex attachments?

What progression are you using for the touch-up?

Literally a mrror edge. Never seen that. How do u get the mirror edge? Does it make it sharper than a regular edge ?

What scales are these?

I bought the G10 model. It's like a Caly had a baby with a para 3. The Caly/Para 3 lovechild. Better than the P3 IMHO, I love the Caly so it's a welcome addition and the ergos are really really good. I also love the leaf blades, a surprising and enjoyable cutter. Safe to say I quite like the Sage. The Rex is done well, the whole package has Taichungs extra attention to blade finishing. Love my Taichungs. I stropped the factory edge with 3um gunny and it did make it crisper. Cheers for the fingertip under the tip tip.👍

Rubbing Alcohol takes sharpie off with zero effort. It's an alcohol soluble ink.

Missed it, happy there's a video to watch now :D

i've already scrathed two shiro blades while sharpening... nightmare! ddon't think i have the stop collars on my blitz, will have to look

Why does every sharpenjng vid show sawing back and forth on the blade. This introduces uneven metal removal. One should sweep from heel to tip an even number of times until a burr is raised then flip and sweep the blade the same number of times until a burr is raised on the other, then change grits.

Is polishing the edge just looks

Great show. Congrats on your new sharpener. That's cool they recognize!

The Hapstone premium CBN 150 grit is sold out on the Hapstone USA website now

Good to see ya back Tom

You ever wanna sell that kadet im your guy. Ive been using the Hapstone RS and feel like I need to upgrade.

I use a large torx socket to punch them out. Can't remember the size but if you have a torx socket set you'll figure it out, or just Google it like I did the first time.

I’m so mad I missed this live!

Whaaaaaaat iiiiiiiiiiiiss up guuuuuuuyss 😅

Ben Petersen is the man!

I’m so glad you had Ben on this week! He’s one of the good guys in the industry, in my experience.

Dang I missed it!!

I have to get one that is sweet I like the grips.

Great idea to reposition and reclamp to sharpen the tip

With the sweet green kicks

hot Shiro talk, yeah!

Makers Syndicate 🤘🏼

What up Tom, and Ryan!

Sup

Straight 🔥🔥🔥🥑

The finger support on the tip works great.

KME now has their new model that can accommodate 4-6" stones and also comes with stones for $459 I believe.

Where’s the Tiger?🐅

Moore Mirror Tantos!!! 🔥🔪💥🔪🔥

Fucking fire❤

🔥🔥🪞🔥🔥

Looks good Mr Moore. Love them tanto’s

28 degrees is high, as you well know. Surprised you didn’t lower it some to make it a little more slicey. Of course, Hinderers aren’t slicey no matter what you do. And they come super dull. Pocket jewelry for collectors, but not a good EDC by any stretch.

HOLY SHIT!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!

Nice work!
