What is the degree on that back bevel? Looks awesome

I had it on the 15 degrees on my EP. The Izula is a pretty thick knife. It slices alot better now.

Thanks sweet! Looks very nice. 6000 grit tapes?

3000 grit. I microbevel at 20 degrees with the spyderco medium,fine, and ultra fine stones. I think the bevel is less than 15 degrees. I sharpened it on the grind, not the tang. So I'm thinkin 12-13 degrees.

Ok. I was thinking that the bevel was lower than 15°

WOW, that Izula is serious!

Holy crap!!! The edge on that is gorgeous

I love the way it looks... What sharpening system did you use?

I need help. I have a sharpmaker and I purchased ultra fine stones to go for a mirror polish. My problem is that when I sharpen my PM2 with the medium and fine stones I get an extremely sharp edge, hair shaving with one pass sharp. However, when I go to the ultra fine stones, I start to get a mirror polish, but I lose my hair shaving sharpness, when I was going for hair whittling. The edge is very sharp but will not take hair off anymore. I back beveled using the 30 degree back beveling side then did 20 passes down each stone on the edge then flats then changed stones as the book describes. When I get to the ultra fine stones should I only use the flats or the edges? Should I do less passes? Should I only sharpen very very lightly? Any advice will help. Thanks everyone.

By the way, the Para Military2 is literally the best knife I have ever owned or handled. I am still completely infatuated by it. I recommend everyone get one.

Light touches are ALWAYS your best bet, especially when you start to finish with one grit and move to the next.

OK here is another edge! back bevel done through 10k chosera and so is the main bevel. done on my new M390 Para 2!f

[maa14]

ok so I looked at my para 2 closer and the scratches on the back bevel look more like a mix of 400 and 3000 grit scratches, mostly 3000 though

What angle bevels maa?

3V seems to like the SiC Moldmasters. This is 600 grit moldmaster finish stropped with 14u paste.
