Made a set of these for a guy... decided to make a set for myself now.

I told you they would look great!

It most certainly is Matt's.

It most certainly is Matt's.

Yup. That's what I was thinking

 

[Tim20637]

Indeed it is. I bought from him sometime ago and just pulled it out of the safe to do some minor work on it.

Gonna take a special knife to kick the 0566 out of my pocket. I swear I'm in love with this thing de-assisted.

Oh wow I didn't even realize Chris Reeve even did Tantos.

Sorry, I missed the comment. Yes CRK does tanto 21 large and small as well as the Umnumzaan for True North Knives and they are awesome!

 

[BladeChick777]

ZT 0560cbcf and Kershaw Speedform II.
Hinderer Investigator Pen and Olight s20 Baton.

Will be changing up shortly.

Manix 2 and Juice XE6. No photos, back to the old dumb smart phone with a horrible camera.

This one => smooth, good lockup and centering right out of the box.

I use my my edge pro to reprofile and create the initial bevel at around 15 degrees per side. From there I touch up with my Sharpmaker at 20 degrees to create a micro bevel. Works greats and easy to maintain.

I used the Edge Pro Apex 4 kit.

Factory edges are rarely symmetrical so I started with the 120 grit stone to reprofile the edges. Worked my way up to 1000 stone, then 2000 and 3000 polishing tape. I'd estimate a total of approximately 8000 strokes. Is that normal to get a clean mirror edge or do I need better technique?

I went with 16 degrees per side. Edge Pro recommends 20 degrees on these kinds of knives but lots of people in forums said they do 15.

It's still not perfect, there's lots of micro scratches that I can't seem to get out.
