It's screaming sharp, hair whittling edge.
I had a feeling you were going to say that haha, I have some practicing to do
One of the best decisions I ever made in regards to sharpening was to go to lower grit finishes. Learning how to get shaving sharpness off your coarse stones is a great skill to have.
I've found my EDC knives hold an edge longer than they did with more polished edges, and they cut better too. They grab the material better and slice more aggressively.
I still run polished edges on a few specific knives where I feel it makes sense, like my chef knife and whittlers, but most my knives get finished on Spydercos medium bench stone these days.
Do you think it's possible with lower grit diamonds?
What grit do you think Spyderco medium bench stones are?
Spyderco medium rods are (600) grit, the fine rods are (1200), and ultra fine is around (8000)
You can maintain S110V on a sharpmaker with ceramic rods. But, it’ll be tough to reprofile on there.
Also, I have found you get much longer edge retention sharpening with strictly diamonds on S110V.
Read my thread on S110V. It cut like a pound of paperboard, and nearly 400ft in cardboard and it still shaved after all that. It’s like a super steel.

Sure I'd love to read it, do you have a link to it?
