Spyderco UF

Post by Otaku19 »

I got a Spyderco UF Edge Pro format from Ken Schwartz and this is probably my most prized stone, next to the yaginoshima asagi I got from Ken as well. There was an initial problem with the stone and Ken handled it superbly. This pic is straight off of the Spydero UF on a Steel Will Modus in M390. Sharpening progression was CKTG 140 diamond, 220 Gritomatic silicone carbide stone, 400 Gritomatic silicone carbide stone, 1,200 Gritomatic silicone carbide stone, Spyderco 303M, Spyderco 303F and finally, the Spyderco UF. Sharpening was done on the Hapstone V6. I would like to follow this progression with a Suehiro 10k in the near future.

Thank you! I was surprised at how easy the M390 sharpened being a high carbide steel.

They are fantastic and if you don't mind cleaning them often, a very nice substitute for the more expensive water stones. The edge that any of the Spyderco ceramics produce is phenomenal for the price.

Nice edge! Glad you are enjoying it. I have it available for edgepro kme and wicked edge. I also have it combined with a 3000 grit diamond plate.

Thanks for the review!

Spyderco UF is 3 microns.
Unless you need the shape of it, there are much better options in that range.
