Here we go. Work horses: Customs (which also get used :D )

I used to use cheaper compounds, but I got sucked into obsessive sharpening and I now only use the best compounds available. I only use Hand American and Ken Schwartz compounds. I finish up to 0.125µ

Pretty much all of these get used or were used: I forgot a few: Fallkniven U2 Fallkniven F1 Fallkniven WM1 Boker slipjoints Benchmade griptillian Spyderco Caly 3 Spyderco UKPK Aito Puuko: BRKT Aurora: Benchmade Mini Dejavoo Böker year knife 1997 BRKT Bravo 1 BRKT BRKCA 2006...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but just got one of these in the mail and must say they are splendid. I think they finish a bit better than a 6k King when you've raised a slurry. Some pics:

I agree what has been said here. Cheap, thin, holds a decent edge and perfect to learn to sharpen (both convex as V)

I got a 40x loupe and I wouldn't want to be without it now. It's great for sharpening and straight razors. Once you get into precise sharpening, there is no way back.

If he's going for a convex edge, than there are easier and better ways to do it. Stones are more suited for v-bevels and scandi ground knives. His knives are sharp, and he does know his stuff when it comes to knives (I've talked with him a few times on anoher forum), but with better technique he...

One of the worst sharpening techniques I've seen lately I'm afraid.

For bushcraft knives king stones suffice. I would get a xxc DMT plate (to keep stones flat ), a 300 grit king, 1000, 6000. I prefer something between the 1 and 6k, but you can skip it. It will take you a bit longer to get the scratches out on the 6k.

It's for both. On bushcraft knives I see no reason to go above a 6k finish as it will degrade fairly fast when working with wood. Most of these are used for straight razors and kitchen knives. I like highly polished edge, but there's a point when you don't feel the difference anymore in...

Mastering sharpening free handed is a great skill to have; You can get sharp edges pretty fast, but perfect edges take a while. If you do want a device, I can only recommend the Edge Pro.

I like that! Can you give any details?

Because we can :-)

Just to make sure I asked Mike:

Well on 21-10-10 Mike Steward said later this year, but seeing at their production schedule I would say februari, march.

Oooh that's a very nice knife! Congrats on buying one of the best BRKT knives out there!

Fantastic package at a great price!
