Looks to me that a small ceramic rod would sharpen the serrations quite well. I believe the "trick" is not to let any edge get dull; I steel all my blades after use. My thought on the Seb with serrations is to use that portion of the blade for rope or similar.

Personally I find an India stone for the first step then down to a Black Arkansas followed by a translucent Arkansas...the rods are a bit difficult to hold the correct angel (29degrees) . Th get a really sharp edge don't use oil or water in the final two steps. The oil will suspend the metal pieces and worn off stone and Gall the edge. When the stone loads up with metal clean the surface with light oil or mineral spirits.then back to sharpening

That's it, Duke. Those Idaho stamps are becoming quite collectable and hard to find.

Here is Pap with the man himself, Chris Reeve at the Idaho Knife Association Annual Show today. Chris is a very down to earth fellow and was happy to take this photo. Yes, I did buy another Chris Reeve. Pictures to follow.

What great photos and put me in line for copy with your autograph, but still am unclear who that "other guy" is basking in the glow of the famous Mike Allen who truly knows his way around the woods.

Thanks for taking time on a busy day to post that.

As for serrations, a tapered ceramic rod, or even better, the Spyderco sharpmaker gizmo, touch up scallops and then quick swipe down back side to remove burr, BUT, it never looks like a shop/factory job, and best results/looks always to let shop/factory redo with original grinder/polisher. 10-4 on rope/belts/heavy reinforced hose/kevlar-glass reinforced fabrics/etc.

Since the Chris Reeve knife shop is here in Boise, I can stop by any time and get a free sharpening. I haven't needed to so far since I use a steel on the front half of the blade without serrations. BTW, the Reeve folks said they aren't making any more serated blades, so better get one now.

Not even Spyderco, who popularized serrations, makes a knife the way I would like. The serrations fantastic on hard to reach, poor leverage, cutting jobs, such as that cold welded radiator hose way down yonder. While we knife users mainly use a blade up closer to handle for much work, where we have better leverage and control for finer work. But very very few knives have ever been made with serrations out front and plain edge in back. Or, if they did, production was not run long enough to bring folk around to idea that for most folk in normal jobs, that this version was best, everyone fixating on the rope cut idea of max pull up close, and relegating them to rope-knives and totally bolixing normal use of the knife plain edge.

Personally, I cannot blame him for dropping serrations, very few folk work enough with knives to use them, and they open up a new can of worms as for problems for owners to complain about. I sure hope he keeps his equipment for repair/resharpen of customers existing knives.
