Hello INGO, it's been a while since I've been on (though I doubt anyone's actually missed me) and I'm back to glean more knowledge. As some of you may remember, I'm a bit of a knife novice (https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/cutting-edge/348733-please-explain.html) but I'm finally starting to understand the argument for nicer tools.
I'm currently in the market for a new EDC blade and a reliable way to keep it sharp. I'd like to hover around the $200 range for the knife and the sharpener.
My research is leading me toward S30V steel for the blade and likely G10 for the handle (my hands sweat a lot). I'm thinking a good balance of desire and budget would land me at the Paramilitary 2.
As for the sharpening system, I'm considering a Sharpmaker with the addition of an extra fine stone and a Knives Plus loaded strop block.
Questions? Comments? Rebuttal?
