Great strategy of essentially going for a compound bevel with the high angle! Tha ks Sean! 🤙👊

[@protomon]

Such an underrated channel.

Gorgeous knife!! ❤

[@user-ug4ln5xx9m]

Awesome video!!! ❤

[@mcm4point2o]

cool upload man great info. hope to someday see the Spyderco sharpmaker on the channel. in my experience microbeveling Spyderco's already very-slicey edges gives them an almost scandi type touchup that removes minimal steel. Sal Glesser literally built the brand off of that system (:

[@ferdinandludo8851]

thanks for the info, can you sharpen all of your Spyderco on the single clamp from TSFPRO ? was wondering if you can sharpen as small as the Spyderco Manbug whose blade is less than 2 inches ? Thanks

[@ryandye6242]

Nice WORK AS ALWAYS!!!

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

Thank you!

[@mitchgoldfarb5730]

I got a burnt edge PM2. I thought I was crazy because anytime I would go below 600 grit the apex would crumble away. I thought this could have just been a nuance with Maxamet but it’s not. I guess I just have to work on the blade for a while now,whomp whomp…Thanks for the great video!

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

If you do like I said in the video it shouldn’t take you too long!

[@R.H.bladeNshade]

Awesome detailed video!! I appreciate you sharing it. 👊

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

You’re welcome! 👊🏼😁

Love the rig man

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

Thank you!

[@goodnessgraciousitellya5004]

That’s a wicked edge 🔥

[@jg3435]

Been waiting on a new tutorial. I always learn something new from each one. Many thanks!

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

I know, I kept you in mind haha! You’re welcome brother!

[@stevenlachance8576]

For stropping strokes I’ve been using edge trailing-away from edge- strokes to avoid tearing out apex.

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

The problem with that is ending up with a wire edge which is simply a burr that is straightened out so you think its deburred but it’s not and then you go to cut something and it tears apart. Plus if it’s still tearing apart, you haven’t gotten to the good steel yet. I know it’s annoying and frustrating but it’s the difference between a edge that will last and one that wont so to me it’s worth the effort. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

Just saw you said “stropping” which yes is always edge trailing however you want to debur on the stones if you can. If it’s crumbling or difficult to debur id strongly suggest you grind away some more steel and try again till your edge is stable.

[@roady7420]

That’s a good idea on increasing the angle to get past a burnt or comprised heat treat on the edge. I really like that upgraded stone holders from tsprof as well, definitely one of things people should buy first after learning to use. I wonder if you have tried the compound edge TSPROF talks about?

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

Thanks, I had to learn it the hard way through trial and error just like everything else lol! After a knife takes 14 or more hours it definitely encourages you to find solutions and this is by far the best method I’ve found to deal with overheated edges! And unfortunately I have not tried that before and not really familiar with it.

[@roady7420]

@@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL 👍 TsProf did a video about compound edge. In my opinion it’s like a convex edge( parabolic or positive curvature)but geometric or straight lines with different grits as the angle is changed. So think 400 grit change angle 3-6 degrees, then 600 grit change angle 3-6 degrees, 800 and finish to your preference with that steel. Advantages like a convex longer lasting edge “supposedly”. I have only tried it on a Spyderco tenacious 8cr13mov which is beater for me. I takes me longer now to dull an edge, now that I don’t have a job where I am cutting all the time (think low voltage data work).

[@LouietheKnifeAddict]

Hi Sean, instead of chasing the burr at the end of the sharpening where you are doing 1 & 1 per side to minimize the burr. I like doing an away from the edge 1&1 stoke from tip to heal after doing a couple 1&1 into the blade strokes. The away from the edge stroke will straiten the burr up so the next set of into the blade 1&1 stokes will definitely minimize the burr to nothing. For me this method works awesome for finalizing the blades burr. I have found on steels like S110V & Maxamet this method work perfectly for me. Give it a try it might help. You may think nope not for me. Great video I look forward to the next. I still need to get over to the shop for a shape up. I’m a Kent Island resident. Later.

[@jamesbevis7033]

I was planning on sharpening my Maxemet PM 2 tonight when I turned KZbin on and seen your video. First of all would like to say it's good seeing you do another sharpening video. I have 1 question, what angle were you at on that one it looked good? I like a nice shiny wide bevel.

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

That’s ironic haha! Good to see you too and I did 15° on this one, that’s what I like for most of my Spydercos!

[@chrism8324]

I didn't find maxamet too difficult to sharpen. The worst blade steel i have sharpened was ZDP 189. I hate sharpening it.

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

Yeah, like I said in the beginning most of them are fine and sharpen very easy but there’s a percentage of them that end up with burnt edges from the factory which leads to lots of people having bad experiences and misconceptions about it. I’ve had plenty that were fine and sharpened easy and Ive gotten a bunch of them with problems that I had to work out.
