Argali Carbon Knife Review, By Jordan Budd

got a serac for my Bday..cant wait to try it out during spring bear

I really want one of these...but I’m horrible at sharpening knifes on stones. Can you use a “smith’s” sharpener to get a quick edge on these or will those ruin the blade? My idea would be to use that as needed throughout the season and at the end of the year send it back into Brad for a real edge. Is this a bad idea? Brad, thoughts?

I sharpen mine with the guided work sharp knife sharpener. Easy to use!

Maybe I just need a professional to sharpen mine, it goes dull real quick.

Hey there--We offer free sharpening so feel free to ship it back. It should hold an edge for a long time.

That's a great idea and definitely a good option. Our knives are super easy to sharpen with a ceramic rod, set of stones or anything else you normally use to sharpen. The worksharp belt sharpener is my favorite all purpose home sharpener, but honestly with a little bit of practice and the proper sharpening (i.e. maintaining the proper bevel angle, starting out with a slightly coarser grit and working your way to a finer grit) you should be able to easily sharpen any of our knives.

Also, we're releasing a pretty cool product that "allegedly" can sharpen knives pretty well next month, so keep an eye out for that.

Brad, what angle should I sharpen the Serac at? I use an Edge Pro so I have a good range of angles I can select.
