GEC is a "Traditional" knife maker. Pocket knives used to come almost exclusively flat ground. The edge of the knife sometimes came sharp enough to cut, but most times it was ground acute and had just a pass or two on the edge at the correct sharpening angle. Traditional knife makers assumed the purchaser would put their own edge on the blade how they needed it for whatever jobs they were buying the knife for. They understood in the past that men were going to sharpen the hell out of their knife and didn't see a need to sell someone a knife that was scary sharp out the box.

It's a really great steel! My thinking goes as follows: For sharpening, ceramic stones are great for small touch-ups and maintenance, especially with such a thin edge. However, I wouldn't recommend them for full resharpening or fixing bigger edge damage. Ceramic stones are softer than the vanadium carbides in this steel, so they only remove the steel matrix, leaving a rougher, less sharp, and less durable edge, and it takes longer. So, my recommendation is: If you plan to completely maintain your knives yourself, buy a diamond or CBN stone. If you plan to handle regular maintenance but send it out to a pro for bigger damage or full resharpening, a ceramic stone or rod is more than enough. This steel holds a proper edge for a long time, depending on use.

Sorry for all the comments but that's the same results I got with my Slaters, I have a CKTG black ceramic rod and it responds very well to it, haven't even had to touch a strop.
@@SouthernKnifeLife love hearing that!!!!
Nice slip!
It’s on the way!😊🎉
Great leather work!
@@catshark12 thanks!!!
It's a really great steel! My thinking goes as follows: For sharpening, ceramic stones are great for small touch-ups and maintenance, especially with such a thin edge. However, I wouldn't recommend them for full resharpening or fixing bigger edge damage. Ceramic stones are softer than the vanadium carbides in this steel, so they only remove the steel matrix, leaving a rougher, less sharp, and less durable edge, and it takes longer. So, my recommendation is: If you plan to completely maintain your knives yourself, buy a diamond or CBN stone. If you plan to handle regular maintenance but send it out to a pro for bigger damage or full resharpening, a ceramic stone or rod is more than enough. This steel holds a proper edge for a long time, depending on use.
