This Scrapyard steel is AWESOME.I reprofiled my Scrapper today and then stropped it and it's just simply dangerous.Me and a buddy of mine;hey H!;we are always cutting half moon shapes out of sheets of paper with thin bladed folders.But this thick [censored] blade will now do just as good as my best folder. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />It just doesn't make sense <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />.Thanks again Dan&patti for such an awesome knife.

What sharpening system did you use to reprofile it....I have an asymmetrical SJ that I would love to convert.....what methondas and proceedures did you use?

OK Gravel Face here goes;I used a Smith's 4" combination diamond hone;working it like a file;and after I got the edge rolling back and forth with it,I went to the strop.I started with Flexcut honing compound and then to Yellowstone compound and then to the green chromium oxide;0.5 micron; and then a plain leather strop for final polish.It was alot of work but it was sure as hell worth every minute of it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />Oh I forgot a cold beer with this doesn't hurt either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />P.S.I free hand all my reprofiling that away I can see and feel what I'm doing.That's the way my dad taught me,it's a little more work than using a machine but you know that it's right when you get done or you can cuss yourself if it's not <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
