Thanks for watching. I can definitely do a video on that. I have lots of sharpenings on super steels and simple carbon steels but talking about the difference would be a cool approach.
I have a S90V Bench made on the way. And I did not realize the steel is harder than the ceramic rods I use to sharpen all my other knives. I am correct in that? I just ordered some, let me look... DMT wet stones. Will that work out? Thank you.
I use a silicon carbide stone to resurface the resin bonded diamond. As for stropping, I think it's the angle of the camera and how I have to lift the tip of the knife to reach the tip on the strop. The straight/flat part of the knife is one angle and the tip is another since you have to raise the tip because there is a curve at the end of the blade. Thanks for watching!
Wondering this myself... I'm holding off sharpening my Benchmade S90v til I know the best way to do it. Didn't pay this much for a knife to ruin the blade on a traditional quick sharpener
Don’t know if your still reading comments but here goes.... when I sharpen esp the 940 I so want the #%*8ing thumbstuds out of the way do you ever take them out to sharpen?
Steven Lachance I sure am. I don’t remove them but you definitely can. If you’re using a guided system especially it would be easier to remove them. For freehand I find that they’re no big deal to leave in place.
Great video Mike :) don’t let those cunts in the comments get you in a panic, anyone for that matter lol. You made some excellent points about lapping stones. I also need to try using sharpie for stropping as well. Lapping makes a world of a difference in my opinion. Do you own the 800/1200 yet? I wonder because I can’t remember seeing it in previous videos. I’m waiting on purchasing it myself because I’m trying to get away from high grits since I just got a hold of my first high carbide stuff but I’ve also come to love finishing at coarser grits. If I remember correct, you had the practical sharpening vitrified stones at one point right? The reason I ask is because Jef put me on a list of people to send them to but I’m not sure if I should try contacting them myself since I’m such a small channel. Might possibly come off a little too eager to be fair. Anyway keep up the venev videos coming! I always look forward to watching those.

Great video as always.
Lots of skill no hype. Grease video. Would love to see your take on sharpening super steel blades vs standard stuff.

What do you resurface the stone with? Notice you strop at a high angle also. Enjoy your videos. Thanks,

Can you sharpen a black blade like a Benchmade Mediator the same way or would it destroy the finish?
Is it a good idea to sharpen the s90v with a silicone carbide stone? Thank you.

What did you use to refresh the stone ?
Peter Vu just a silicon carbide 1x6 edge pro stone. Cheap and effective
can I use the nagura stone of chosera 400 to remove those clogging of swarfs?

Nice video man. Good technique as usual. You think that douche will show up again?
Scott Talkington we’ll see 😂 my guess is yes. Trolls love trolling. Thanks for watching!!
Just get a king nagura for lapping
Hi Dude I have a chosera and kind nagura but I prefer the silicon carbide stone since it’s more aggressive. Thanks for the input though!
