- In this video I sharpen my Maxamet Para 3. Don't believe all the hype out there that Maxamet is impossible to sharpen. It's not hard at all and doesn't take forever like some have mentioned. I even fix a broken tip in less than 30 minutes! Thanks for watching.
Good job on the sharpening and reprofiling ! Great video , thanks for sharing !
patrick vanovermeeren thanks for your positive comments! I truly appreciate them
I'm happy for you that you can sharpen yours so easily. I am having zero luck. Is there anyone you could recommend I send it to? I'm tired of trying.
What are you using to sharpen it? Did you ever get it figured out?
Diamond stone
I have trouble understanding what people mean with hard to sharpen.
It can be that one has a stone not fit for the material, then obviously its hard to sharpen. That is nearly negated with good quality diamonds like you use.
Then theres the steel itself, it can have large carbides, which could chip during sharpening with smaller grits or lower angles, I could understand that and from what ive picked up maxamet might be one of those large carbide steels that doesnt like low angles,
with a jig like the wicked edge pressing too hard with too sharp angles shouldnt be a worry either.
Theres also steels that have a very resilient burr thats hard to get off (i had this with M390) so you just have to make sure you dont grind on one side too much (again no issue with wicked edg, right?)
and then theres ceramic knives that need a fine diamond to even be sharpened or they dont get ground and like crazy. i havent been able to sharpen those yet.
So for me a person behind the screen its hard to understand what the myth of maxamet being hard to sharpen originates from,
That said, its no surprise to me you had no trouble with it using the jig since it is good at eliminating most of the issues,
Perhaps that also proves that its just a matter of sharpening correctly or knowing what a certain steel can handle and that large carbide steels might need a keener approach than 1095.
Have you ever had any issues with any steel with this setup?
magicshon nope never had an issue with any type of steel
Aramis scales?? Looks good! Touched mine upon a 600 diamond , a 1000, and a strop. Hair whittling. Wasn’t bad at all.
yep Aramis grand line CF. So nice.
@@overlandedc love em. Ordering mine for the Para 3, and the Yojimbo soon!!
That’s amazing short time. I used DMT xtra corse and it took me 2 straight hours to reprofile a Chris Reeve Sebenza
Are you clamping down on the flats of this knife? I’ve had trouble clamping para 3 and pm2 because of the distal taper
I'd love to hear an answer to this as well
Thanks for the helpful video 👊
Could I ask do you think the wicked edge is worth the money ? Sooooo expensive !!
I’ve certainly got my money’s worth. The go isn’t as expensive and just as capable
One guy decides he has a tough time doing maxamet and post a video about it and the MYTH is born. Such is life... happens everyday!
111111111Tiger wasn’t that guy a so called professional sharpener as well? 🤷♂️
@@overlandedc yup, I do believe so- have to call you a myth buster
Stay Firsty, my friend as always, Happy Holidays!!!👍👍🙏🙏
How quick do you think the 50 grit would do it? Lol
LessthanRyan92 very fast, but I wouldn’t go that low unless your repairing damage like this
@@overlandedc have you tried any of the ceramic stones?
LessthanRyan92 no and I don’t intend to. The diamonds have worked so well for me I don’t plan on making any changes.
