Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I think it would be interesting to see grain size and what’s happening to the grains along the edge. Usually to see grain boundaries you need to etch a material fist, But I’m not sure what that would be done with for this material. I did sharpen on mule with the diamond film belt this weekend with w...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I too would like a broken piece for SEM if anyone has any to spare. It doesn't need to be as small as Hewn's. Hewn, what model do you have? We have a phenom, It can take samples larger than that but that’s the size of the “sticky tiles” we have to mount samples on. I do have a 20 micron diamond fil...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
Did you reprofile? The angle seems to be quite high, though i did not measure it.

I set set the angle to 17 DPS on the tormek. It was fairly close to what was on from the factory, perhaps a bit shallower. I did remove the micro bevel at the edge which was present from the factory.

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I'm open to whatever people (users, spyderco, etc) would find beneficial. If people wanted to look at the edge/apex after use on different abrasives and grits it's something I could certainly do. My company is a nano materials manufacturer so I'm usually dorking around on the SEM a few days a week a...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I’ll offer up that if anyone has a “piece” of one that’s around 1 cm2 I’d be willing to image the edge under our SEM at my company:

Re: MT40P – HIC Mule Team Dropping Soon!
Had 2 arrive last week. Sharpening on resin bonded diamond with one of them, and I’ve not been able to work up a shaving edge. I suspect that’s me more than the material. The second I took to the tormek with a 600 grit cbn wheel and completely reworked the bevel at 17 dps, which was close to what wa...

Re: You got your Ceramic Mule. How you gonna sharpen it?
I picked up 2 on the latest email drop. One I have free hand sharpened on resin bonded diamond, and tried stropping on various diamond compounds on leather or mdf. It's workably sharp but will not shave. I find I am more variable in my free hand angle with this material so I have a bit of a convex g...
