I'll agree with eveyone else the edge just hasn't been apexed yet. So a little work is still needed.Lanske makes a Diamond/Ceramic 4-Rod Turn Box, that would be a good set up for someone new to sharpening.Stay away from the powered systems until you have more experience.And never use a pull thru sharpener.
Got a call yesterday evening and picked it up today!
What is it?
Great looking 112, Ray. Don't they just feel great in hand?
Ah, I'm sure Buck will clean it up for you. I don't think any of my Bucks (112 or 110) swing open or shut when the lock lever is actuated. Defintely not like a Benchmade Axis lock or Spyderco Compression lock.
They don't have a lot of closing snap either, at least mine doesn't
The G-10 Pro
Looks nice.
Mike, I like the diamond rod sharpeners for field use. I carry these in my hunting pack:
Very nice 112 G-10 Pro Rapidray!
Sorry for the frustration, Mike. If the edge is really buggered, it can take a lot of work to bring it back. I had a small chip in a blade once and it seemed like I would never get that thing ground out. And I was using a coarse stone! So it goes. At this point, why not send the knife back to Buck to get tuned up. Explain how you got it and that you've had trouble putting a good edge back on it. I betcha Buck gets it back to you in top shape. It will cost you shipping and maybe a nominal service fee, but it wold be worth it to start with a fresh edge.
