Glad you found a system that works for you

I've sharpened over 5K knives in the last 20 years for people on the Syderco sticks. 3.00 a pop, that's a lot of coin over the years helping people just like you with this simple kit.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Agree completely, it even does a great job on serrated edges.

1. Do you sharpen with or without oil on the sticks?

2. Whats your average pass per stone (I know it depends on the steel)?

No oil on the ceramic sticks

Average pass, as you suggested, it depends on the condition of the blades primary and secondary edges, the steel and the heat treat. Usually I'll take a butter knife to scary sharp in 5 minutes using the diamond stones first, then the course ceramics. If it's sharper than a butter knife, less time.

I don't use oil on any of the sticks. Just clean 'em with Comet and a scouring pad when done

Thanks.

I have not used the Sharpmaker for a while (have not needed to do so), I only usually dull up my work edc blade (Ripple). I just sharpen that one on the "Chef's Choice" sharpener (works well and fast).

This thread has inspired me on using the Spyderco SM again, thanks.

I called the company and asked if they had any demos or factory seconds available, and lucked into one.... so instead of $299.... I got it for $139.
