from what i've heard that ceramic doesn't like low grits, anything below 1k. But it does love resin bonded diamond stones. Pretty sure outdoors55 got some lesser ceramic knives to hair whittling.
@@attila5221 I used the 800 side of the spyderco CNN stone when I did my testing trials. I kept the session to only 5 minutes or so. I think getting the edge to hair whittling would take time and patience. Plus I think getting the apex that thin would make the knife more prone to chip out.
Been using and testing mine. Just got some brand new fresh diamond plates, I’ll see if I can sharpen at all. So far I can just shape it to where it cuts but idk if I’ll ever get that skin sinking edge. I think for what it is, it’s cool. I’d be curious what knives they’d use this on. Haven’t carved wood. If I can know I’m not going to snap the blade I’d use it pretty hard
I’m wondering how a 45 degree, 60 degree… 90 degree edge would do… it’s already not gonna slice how think. I was very very excited they released this mule. They release them for the love of it. I REALLY hope they use that rex 76 in something. Which mules do you have? I’m spy 27, T15, rex 76, and ceramic.
@@lindboknifeandtool triple b still has my rex76 mules. I have M398 that im giving to my younger brother for barbecue season. I have cts b70p which is in my mind inferior to spy27 on every level. I have Aeb-l which triple b designed the heat treat for. I picked up k294 and T15 when i bought the HIC mule.
I sharpened mine on low grit, wouldn't recommend it. It just chips the edge and doesn't add any kind of sharpness to it. After that I spent about and hour on a 1000 grit resin bonded diamond stone working all the chips out and them moved on to a 3000 grit diamond stone. Normally on steel knives I would use water but it seems to cut the ceramic faster without water. Haven't really tested since then I've only given it about 2 sharpening so far.
Oh yeah was looking forward to seeing this.

Yes I absolutely despise the scalpers who buy mules simply for resale at a drastically inflated price!
Nice to see someone who is fulfilling the mules intended purpose
Do you think sharpening on the 400 be considered knapping like in obsidian or other stone knives?
Ive heard others reporting the edge chipping on low grit diamond. So i do think that is likely whats happening. But i want to double check for myself.
