I haven’t been able to sang one of these but really want one. I’m an 86 lover like you are. This is the best video ever put out on this, believe that because I’ve probably watched them all 🤣
When it comes to sharpening, I'd consider myself LESS than a novice/beginner, so please excuse my sharpening ignorance, lol. When you sharpen a Northwoods do you use a different angle for the saber grind than you would for the same size blade with a flat grind?? This last run of NW heritage jacks was pretty great, but the secondary prices were CRAZY!!! Thankfully I was patient and eventually I snagged one of the blue sawcut for a reasonable price. The action on yours sounds incredible!! I've only got 3 or 4 NWs in my whole collection now, and I'm like you, I can't bring myself to patina the blade either.
@@WVKNIFEGUY because NW are saber ground, they’re going to be thicker behind the edge. So if you put the same angle on a NW as they’re full flat equivalent GEC, the edge bevel will be wider. Also, rate that the blade thickens as you do more sharpenings will be more then the full flat versions of the same knife. So when I do a NW, I try to match the angle to how I want the knife to look when I’m done. I don’t like really wide edge bevels, but that’s my preference. So I’m very careful with NW. You can sharpen your knife however you want, as long as you’re happy with it in the end.
@SlipjointDisplay Thank you so much!! I can't stand the really wide bevels on a traditional slipjoint either. I hadn't thought about the rate of the blade thickening with future sharpenings being higher, but that totally makes sense. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it 🙏

Use the same angle. Saber grind is referring to how far they grind the blade to the spine. The cutting edge can be whatever angle you prefer.

@@WVKNIFEGUY Personally I sharpen to 17 on traditionals, all of them I don't care how it looks as much as how it performs.
