    I have recently learnt how to put a convex edge on my Fallkniven. I then use the fine stones on my Spyderco to finish. The edge is sharp enough to shave with, and can slice through tissue that is held between finger and thum.

    Thumbs up Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpener

    A while back, my Dad asked for a Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpener for his birthday. It's initially a bit daunting as it looks quite unconventional, but the performance is awesome. It puts a magnificent edge on a decent blade. My Leatherman is good, but I also have a Benchmade which is now seriously sharp.

    So good I just had to get one for myself...

    Thanks Dave.

    It takes a while to develop the skill, but it's with you for life after that.

    Pete.
