    s90v is going to be a much harder steel than s35vn, hence s35vn should be easier to sharpen. How are you sharpening? Freehand or guided system?

    If it were a 78 or older I would be on my way to get it.

    Hmm, I'm not sure, I can get my Spyderco and CRK s35vn fairly sharp with little effort. Have you met at the apex of the edge yet? Sometimes you gotta keep going until both sides meet.

    That’s the same one I have and I’ve never had an issue. I guess I should have read more before I posted....

    Morning gents :hattip:

    From Alabama WX

    MID-WEEK: The sky will clear from west to east after midnight, and the weather will be dry and very pleasant tomorrow through Thursday. Sunny days, fair nights, highs in the low 70s, lows mostly in the low to mid 40s. Perfect autumn weather.

    FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The weather picture for Alabama remains about as clear as mud on these three days due to large model differences and inconsistencies. Models differ on how to handle an upper wave west of the state, but both do suggest periods of rain are likely Friday, possibly Friday night. Then, the divergence begins. The American global model (GFS) shows dry and pleasant weather Saturday and Sunday, while the European global model (ECMWF) suggests occasional rain and a few thunderstorms need to be in the forecast both days.

    As we often point out here, the European model tends to perform better in the medium range (3-7 days out), and we will lean toward the wetter solution for now and maintain some risk of rain for Saturday and Sunday in our forecast package. But, I would not change plans or be too worried if you have something planned outdoors right now since this forecast can, and probably will change. Keep an eye on the blog as we get better clarity through the week.

    NEXT WEEK: For now Monday and Tuesday look dry, but a cold front will bring some risk of showers Wednesday, followed by much cooler air. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details

    Consider yourselves lucky. It's swamp butt weather down here in Green Cove Florida.

    I drove to Oxford for my exhaust reroute. Things around Auburn just seem so much more expensive.
