    Quick learner! delica mirror

    got my edge pro today and took my delica through the 220, 600, 1000, 2000 and 3000 grit tapes..... the other 2 knives didnt fair this well but i went out on a limb and said wth and used my delica. not too shabby




    the area just under the spydie hole on the blade is still a bit rough as you can see... for some reason i had trouble hitting that spot

    Great to hear you are getting such good results so quickly after getting the ep. My 30th birthday is coming up on June 9th and I think I'm going to be ordering an ep apex as a birthday gift to myself.

    I dove headfirst into my EP yesterday on a FFG Delica. Let's just say I learned a few things from my first go around. Scratched the hell out of the blade, but the edge is ridiculously sharp. I also had a hard time hitting right near the ricasso.

    Congrats on your EP, painter's tape is the anti-scratched secret . . . . IMHO try first your EP on some junk folders and then sharpen or reprofile SPIDIES . . . . Here is a link http://imgur.com/a/ODFWr it is my resent EP reprofiling, Stag Arms is been reprofiled to 17deg up to 600grit and 154CM to 15deg up to 1000grit, notice the lines of the Stag Arms MANIX2 reprofiled edge and the matt finished edge, also the polished edge of the MANIX2 154CM . . . . The area near the ricasso at first is all right not to polish it because of the factory grinding, a few times on EP will do the job . . . . Tell me how you like my fotos . . . .
