Without this it would take with those accompanying the Spyderco (medium brown and fine white) stones indefinitely to produce new cutting edges. These extremely hard CBN stones which have approximately the hardness of diamond (can but attach itself more stable than diamond in the substrate), it takes even a little - but also the complete layman gets by even and uniform material removal, the basis for a solid new cutting edge. Even in the toughest steels, who rarely can be ground without workshop equipment. This new cut base must then be refined only with, the Spyderco Sharpmaker enclosed stones. ' However, care is required when using. The stones are logically aligned with robust aggressiveness and scratches in a slip inevitably the blade surface. By virtually foolproof Spyderco system this risk is reduced but ruled they can (which is in the nature of things) are not. It is advisable to use slightly Be moved with detergent liquid in loops to
- Not to inhale the abrasion - To have a more gentle abrasion - The bars (it is not usual to ceramic material) after work to clean it.
The secret of Spyderco system is that each time loops as little as possible, and pressure is applied with the knife precision is deleted vertically as gentle as possible on the grinding surfaces. Put pressure brings nothing but the stones to pollute faster and / or damaging them.
All in all, certainly not cheap but certainly worthwhile investment - for those who need it. The rods are built to last. Even with frequent use it must be assumed that this will also serve the grandchildren respectfully - so no excessive pressure on the parts exerted.
