Strider DB in CPM-3V

kwakster · **on:** May 31, 2011, 10:30:07 PM

Just finished reprofiling & sharpening my Strider DB in 3V.

Originally it looked like this:

The straight edge was reprofiled to 30 degrees inclusive & the slanted edge to 45 degrees inclusive.
Now the little one can and will cut, and it still can be used as a sharpened prybar in an emergency.

For now i finished the edges to 15 micron diamond paste as i want to find out how they hold up.

Great job on the DB.

I always liked the looks of the DB but have never got around to buying one.

A few more pics;

The straight edge was reprofiled on a Wicked Edge sharpener to 30 degrees inclusive & polished up to 6 micron 3M diamond paste, while the slanted edge was done on a Tormek T7 to 45 degrees inclusive & polished up to 15 micron 3M diamond paste.
Both edges will treetop armhair, the straight edge will also whittle hair in some places.
Maybe in the future i'll try some finer polishing, but for now it's good,
