This is my Shirogorov 111 in purple CF and S90V. It is my understanding that ten of these exist in the world, so naturally I’ve been carrying it and recently dropped it onto concrete and chipped the tip.
I taped around the pivot area to keep steel dust out of the bearings, and I used a zip tie around the sharpening choil as a sharpening stone stop to keep from nicking the plunge grind. I left it pretty coarse (300 grit before stropping) and didn’t do a perfect job at the heel, but it’s more functional now than when it had the factory edge. It’s at about 17.5 DPS.

Nice! High end knives can be nerve wracking to sharpen. I remember my first time sharpening a Grimsmo😂
