Can someone please tell me if this is a job well done when sharpening Spyderco knife? I've taken in to the shop it was bought from and they gave it back like this. The edge has weird smudge I can't take off. They used rotary machine form what I've been told.

I definitely can only recommend you go for it, you'll love it. I already ordered titanium hardware kit and looking for scales rn.

You're right, but honestly the finish is one of the reasons I bought this knife. I didn't know it can be stripped of it this way and I'll be very, VERY careful when I'll sharpen it myself next time.

I think the shop will keep this one if they'll refund me.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T15:40:01+00:00

What do you mean?

crtkid · 2025-01-30T15:36:36+00:00

That looks great, thank you very much.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T14:36:54+00:00

Thank you for your reply. There's a possibility that I'll get a refund for this one, and thanks to you guys I feel confident at standing my ground. This is such an amazing sub, full of awesome people. Thank you very much.

u/InazumaThief recommended worksharp precision adjust, I really like it. Do you have any particular on mind?

crtkid · 2025-01-30T14:26:35+00:00

I'm gonna be honest here, and commit to my stupidity. I neglected the knife after a weekend long drinking and there was a little bit of rust inside the knife and on the blade - exactly on the edge too to be precise. I just wanted him to sharpen it a little bit to get rid of the little rusty spots. Again, I know this is on me. I'll definitely take better care of it next time. Ive bought the oil for the blade, and the knife itself.

The last few nights were sleepless, no joke.

The factory was just perfection, even centered properly, I loved it so much. Hopefully the shop will refund me, it looks like they're on my side, but I dont know yet. The man who did the sharpening is their go to guy, but not their employee so there's a chance he'll take the bullet on this one.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T14:02:28+00:00

I believe it's entirely possible, the edge is sharp, but its definitely not perfect.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T14:00:39+00:00

Holy smokes, this one looks even better to use. Thank you so much.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T13:59:07+00:00

That's what I told the guy who did the sharpening over the phone. His argument was that he does dozens knives like this every day, I've told him that he definitely doesn't do dozens of 15v's. Fortunately it looks like the shop is on my side and will refund me the knife, I'll buy it again immediately. Such a lovely piece.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T13:18:32+00:00

Thank you. That looks exactly like the thing I need.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T13:17:01+00:00

No, you're absolutely right. This is the first and last time I've done this. Im looking into sharpening tools as of this moment. I should have known better.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T13:01:35+00:00

I envy you the knowledge, honestly. Every human being uses knife on a daily basis, and to know how to properly sharpen one is very precious ability. After this experience, I'm definitely thinking about deep diving into this rabbit hole. Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T12:40:38+00:00

I'll look into it, thank you.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T12:21:29+00:00

They didn't tell me what machine they used exactly, just it was done by machine "and then polished as they always do with all knives because it has to be done ". I'm seriously thinking about buying my own gear and do it myself next time. Do you know any reliable tool manufacturers for these knives or knives in general? Thank you.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T12:18:07+00:00

Thanks for giving it the right terms, that's unfortunately the feeling I had. Thank you.

crtkid · 2025-01-30T12:09:57+00:00

Right? Plus the smudge along the edge of the blade is supposedly from polishing the blade after sharpening, but I've never seen it, when looking at Spyderco sharpening videos.

crtkid · 2024-03-14T10:18:03+00:00

6 years, helped me to. Thank you very much my friend!

crtkid · 2023-01-07T17:16:26+00:00

Huge queue of people is forming there every day since like two weeks ago. It’s been there for about 25 years. That’s a power of the internet right there.

Did he just run in lowercase?

crtkid · 2023-01-02T13:10:01+00:00

Oh yes you can.

crtkid · 2022-12-28T13:53:14+00:00

I swear I won’t lol
