Juiceh 7 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I received my Chaos Porkypine in the mail today and after inspecting it I found that some of the spikes aren't as sharp or even close to some of the spikes or as sharp as I want them. Sure they will still hurt like a bitch if you have to stick something with em, but they are not my desired sharpness. Here are a couple pics: Here is a top down view of the points. The less reflective surface at the tip, the more narrow the point and thus the sharper they are. As you can see the point at the top of the picture is quite sharp whereas the 2 points on the left side of the pic are clearly more flat and dull than the top point and the 2 on the right and 1 on the bottom which are less sharp than the sharpest point. Here are some side profile pics to show the varriances. What would be best to sharpen these up? The typical sharpening stone and some elbow grease? I read that these are made of stainless steel, so I'd think that would be fine, but I figured I'd ask here first. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 maybe a dart sharpener? not sure if the opening is big enough on one of those though. Im sure Cameron will be by sometime to comment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
headshot 52 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Chuck them in a drill press, spin them and use a good file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Theres pins holding them in, take'em out chuck them in a drill and hit either a belt sander(preffered) or a bench grinder(more aggresive, be careful!) Take care to use the same angle and try to keep them the same length. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I don't know, Cameron is said to use a very precise and patented spin balance technology that suppresses harmonic oscillation between tines by transferring inline force into vectors which have the effect of equally transferring load to the hub and along the long axes of the barrel for maximum penetration. That is not something that you want to casually dork around with! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbles 23 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 If it were me I would use 400grit paper, and finish with 600 in a drill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
