Hey Josh, which model Wicked Edge do you use for the refined edge, microbevel?Great question Kevin! For the regular sharpening it's a straight 220 grit belt plus light strop (unless really damaged then I'll start with 120 first). For the refined edge I offer that's done with a microbevel on the wicked edge at 1k grit directly after the belt. I prefer not stropping as it takes some of the bite out of the edge.
will be probably February before I start finishing those out unfortunately!Josh, when do you expect the Ember 3.0 with DLCs to be available for sale?
I’m trying to figure out for a Christmas present. A little late (January is fine) but February or later is later than I want and he will have to “settle” for an Ember 3.0 in MC. Talk about first world problems….
I have before yet, but it is a pain to grind... the most recent batch of pm3 reblades I did were in s90v and those were bad enough for me to not go over 120 grit hahaJosh, you ever work with 10v or similar steels? I know it’s hard on tooling, etc. If so, what do you think about it? Thank you!
Haven't thought that far ahead! Haha. After some current pm3 reblades I'll be getting on the Sparrow preorder batch which should be finished machining. After that probably those ember 3.0 and 3.5 blades. Will probably do a 940 reblade preorder in the next few days too so I'll have work in a couple months.Josh, what’s on the drawing board over the next several months? Might need to start saving now.
Will the Sparrows be the full customs or the mid-techs?Haven't thought that far ahead! Haha.

The 940 reblades are drop in replacements and I don't need your frame or anything. You would just purchase the reblade and I would send it to you.For the 940 reblade do we send you a 940 or do you have some on hand and that’s added to the reblade price?
Midtechs although I am having the necessary blanks made for some customs too at the same timeWill the Sparrows be the full customs or the mid-techs?
That’s not very nice. What are you, the Grinch?Sorry gents! I’ve got him all tied up for the season!![]()
