A new edge for a Strider GB

  • A few days ago i gave this framelock Strider GB from a Dutch forum member a new edge on my Tormek T7 wetgrinder fitted with a black silicon stone.
    The factory edge had a wide angle and was also quite irregular, so there was room for some improvement.
    As you can see i didn't refine the scratch pattern on purpose (as i think it looks good on a knife like this), only removed the burr on the Tormek leather honing wheel, followed by some stropping on a leather handstrop coated with 6 micron diamond paste to create a slightly convex microbevel.
    The straight part of the edge now measures around 25 degrees inclusive while the slanted part is about 30 degrees inclusive.
