I agree 100% with Troy. The best way to learn to sharpen is not to buy an expensive sharpening system--buy a couple of $10.00 Mora knives from Ragnar and an elcheapo doublegrit stone from the local hardware store. ( Or grab a cheap kitchen knife and go to town!) Practice on these and then you'll not only have some excellent knives but also the knowledge to sharpen on the nearest flat rock out in the boonies.

(Troy, if I misunderstood or misquoted you go ahead and let me have it!)

(I thought I knew how to sharpen until I was told about "the wire edge.")

I just bought (sight unseen) a Buck PBS crosslock Alaskan Guide Series folder in S30V from Cabelas. So I'll be asking the same question pretty soon! Anybody have experience with this steel?
