It's my Strider SnG on my new Wicked Edge system - what an awesome set-up! I'm about 13 knives into it and I guess the stones are getting broken in because I'm suddenly getting edges you can read off of!
I had done the SnG previously so it was sharp but nothing like this. So I started at 1000 grit, then 1200 and 1600, really working them - at least 20 strokes each. Then I stropped with 14 and 10 micron paste on leater strops and then with balsa strops at 5 and 3.5 microns. Sweet!
It is by far the sharpest knife I've ever sharpened - it may be the sharpest I've ever held. Huge improvement over the factory edge, and it was sharp.
