Thom, feeling motivated and informed by your post(s) I had another go at my S6.. I use my Lansky kit and a marker pen (magic marker?) to reprofile the point third of the blade (totally ignoring the Lansky instructions as it wouldn't hold a wedge shaped blade at all well). I then used the sandpaper trick with coarse 'emery' paper to put an edge on (carefully, slowly dragging the edge over the paper).... I honed on a white ceramic stick by lightly drawing the edge backwards over it- I managed to razor sharpen the whole thing! My Scrapper now has two thirds of a blade (choil to curve) that is a steeper profile for splitting and chopping and a strong scalpel like final third for carving and whittling- all razor hair-popping sharp.. Given I am shockingly bad at sharpening this is a major result! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
