    Super sharp Superleaf

    First a note of encourgement to all of the folks out there that might be sharpening challenged as I was/am.

    Spyderco gives us great blade materials. It gives a great deal of enjoyment when a blade this thick gets this sharp It's phone book paper and yes, it is a spot of blood I didn't notice until after I took the pic.

    Keep them sharp but please be careful once they get there. A sharp blade will cut you in the wink of an eye. You won't even notice

    I think it was Chuck who first got me thinking about polishing my Superleaf's edge to a shiny edge. I had a lot of fun making the requisite strops, but not as much fun as making that hunk of VG-10 into a real slicer. Now, for rest of my collection...

    I want a Superleaf and a Gayle Bradley and all these pictures are not helping. Now if the Golden crew would just stop the Para2 sprint runs I could save up the money to get them.

    It took me awhile to warm up to the looks of the SuperLeaf, but when I did finally get one, I was amazed at how sharp that thick of a blade came. And it is very comfortable in my hand. Fortunately mine hasn't bit me yet. If I got just one bite from each of my spydies, I'd be in real trouble! I haven't done any mirror-polished edges yet like some of you folks.
