Great work!

Great one Chris! I'll email Benjamin and tell him to tune in. This video is exactly the sort of problem and knife type he had in mind for the Manticore and will give me another chance to put a bug in his ear about possibly making longer or wider stones (LOL!). This video was perfect!

Awesome thank you

glad to see you're back at it, that stone removes steel really fast, might grab one, got a folding knife that's incredibly thick behind the edge, almost like an axe

Cool video thanks man ..

I have a similar knife from my uncle. it is stamped WESTERN out of boulder Co. I have cleaned it up ad it was a chore. I finally broke down and used my dremel tool with a buffing wheel, the sharpened it. I probably went overboard but finished with a 8K grit water stone. Every few days i hit it with a rust eraser to see if I can get more stuff of. It is very shiny at this point. Thanks for your videos, I getting allot of great info from them

That looks like a good stone for what you used it for. Might pick one up. Would be well worthit. I'm vasillating between it an a Norton Crystalon. Great video, Chris!

Check out Gritomatic too, Mike. I got a 120 grit a while ago....it's very similar to the Manticore but is 8"X3". I got it for heavily damaged knives after I sharpened a set of cooking knives and ground away about 1/8" off my 11 1/2" coarse Norton Crystolon. I've only had one chance to use it....I flattened the back of an antique Stanley chisel that had been badly gouged on the side of an Emery wheel. The Gritomatic was fast, didn't make a mess and it still looks brand new. If it quits raining, I'll check it for flatness and report back to you...but I can tell you that it is no where near as friable as the Norton.

Good to see you back man. Hey man what’s your email. So I contact about some sharpening. Baryonx makes awesome stuff. One more thing on your last livestream, you said something happened with Dans Whetstone. Problem part was cut off. I didn’t get the full story. Other were also asking questions also. You do a video explaining what happened. Shoot bro if they did you wrong ,I’ll sell all my Dans stones.

I love the fact that the water was still clear after all of that. That tells me it's not that friable which I'm not a fan of due to stone dishing. I would love to hear if you can see any evidence of dishing on that stone after one sharpening. It's going to be interesting to see what you pick for the next stone in progression.

Is this a good stone for thinning? How does the speed compare to norton crystolon 120?

You only reporfiled the edge of one knife. Pretty light duty for a coarse stone. I've used mine on a half dozen chisels and the like. Even reprofiling a traditional chinese cleaver knife it dished pretty good before the job was done on one side. It has a role, I know it now. Its better than the Norton crystolon stones by a hop, skip and a dash for sure. It doesn't fill the role of a diamond stone, and it doesn't need to.

@@wsmith3145 this knife had very heavy damage to it. This was not a reprofile. This was repair. I reprofiled the edge on a Norton Crystalon, no it don't fit the profile of a diamond by a long shot. But this knifes edge was to far gone to even start on a xc dmt plate. I would have been there twice as long. I've used many many stones, pretty sure I know what I'm doing.

That Kabar style looks like the case or Ontario knife company version with a black phosphate finish but that knife looks spray painted so maybe it was touched up some. The sheath that the knife came in looks like a bayonet sheath so maybe the leather sheath fell apart and they grabbed the next easiest sheath to get and found it fits in there and kept it.

It was rough. But not to bad.

I'm under the impression that WWII vintage MK2's made by Kabar will actually be stamped Kabar. That's why every of the MK2, regardless of who makes/made it is called Kabar. The sheath is definitely not the right sheath, but that could've been swapped out at any time possibly.

Well you're wrong all the way around. Kabar did not make all of these knives. Camillus made some and pal cutlery made some. And there are rumors that Case made a few. But mostly kabar and camillus for THIS time period. And just because the sheath isn't a leather sheath that you see on Google don't mean anything. This sheath is definitely correct for this time period. So please don't have come on my channel trying to portray you're information to be correct. Because what you said here is completely false.
