15V Paramilitary 2 - Best Factory Edge Result Ever? 

Professor, agreed !👍

Pete is the most credible knife reviewer.

I get more from his videos than from the truckloads of others.

100% great idea

A bit of DBK compound would be the thing

I support this idea! I think he also used to do it, I definitely seen him use tormek to strop some knives back in these testing videos

Amen…i thought Maxamet was alien retention….this S15 might be another alien:)

They are.

And to to put it in perspective the longest fine edge/maintaining shaving steel I have tested is custom k390 going 270 feet before it wouldn't shave anymore. All three of the 15v models are going 420 to 460.

Nice. I just got my 15v shaman recently. A bit late to the party.

I doubt s125v will be next from Spydie, Eric said they will be doing rex121 so that's what we can expect the next major sprints to be. A 70-71hrc Rex121 manix 2 has been my dream knife for a couple years now.. hell I offered Transparent blades 700 plus a doner manix 2 to pattern the blade off of to just make me a single 70-71hrc rex121 manix 2 blade and he said he couldn't lol.. I really have my fingers crossed the rex121 release will be in the mule to start and they will do a manix 2 and a pm2 in it and I will be one super happy girl!!! Even happier if Mr Houston is the one who builds up the heat treat protocol for them.

@@EDCandLace that would be cool as well it's just I want to experience the queen of stainless steel. I had a Ferrum Forge custom in s125v but at the time didn't have the best sharpening equipment and it was the only knife I could not get really sharp. The stones just slid across it as the knife laughed. I had to sell it to raise funds and I've regretted it ever since. Sure x125 doesn't stack up to rex 121 or probably 15v but for stainless steel it's still the peak with only m398 coming close and having a custom at 64hrc I'm really impressed with it. Recently I got one of my grail steels which is Vanadis 10 (I hope the 8%Cr gives it better corrosion resistance than 10v class) at 65hrc so there's only a few more I want to experience. A rex 121 Spyderco would be really great though.

Thank Shawn Houston for being diligent on the forums talking with Sal for years about getting this steel to market 😉

So am I!

I EDC my 15v mule. This thing rocks!

Cool meme, but that's how they come from the factory

​@@CNYKnifeNut Just PM2s right? I wanna say one of my Para 3s came in tip down, but that may have been the exclusive.

More importantly than where on the grit scale that you stop sharpening is that you are appropriately climbing the grit progression. If you start at say 200 grit you would want the next one to be 600 or so and then 1000-1200 and so on. You could potentially stop at 1200 if you want or keep going doesn't matter

@@mcsquirgle right but I mean I wanted to know the best grit for m390 because every steel behaves differently, specially on higher grit. 6000 is very high grit, almost like polishing 🤷 some steel have this skating effect, and edge loses it's bite effect 👍

Mine seem to be 13 on one side and 19 on the other lol
