sharpen it. That first factory edge is just like the first tank of fuel that a new car comes with (or first charge of the battery).<br \/>\nA good factory edge is a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; but not a &#8216;make or break&#8217; for a good knife, as you will be putting your own edge onto it soon enough.<br \/>\nThe factory edge does however indicate the care a knife maker has put into the final finish.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason Tactical Reviews measures factory edge sharpness and specifications, and includes this information in the detailed technical testing.<\/p>\n<p>As a further look at the factory edge, this section has been added to include some high magnification photos of the factory edges.<\/p>\n<p>These images allow for a comparison of each side of the factory edge bevel. In this case we now have an explanation as to why the BESS measurements were not as good as the actually cutting ability. The factory edge is full of micro-serrations that make it cut very eagerly, but tend to not measure very well on the BESS scale.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-47-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_03_48_ProV2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-47-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_03_48_ProV2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-47-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_03_48_ProV2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-47-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_03_48_ProV2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-47-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_03_48_ProV2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-47-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_03_48_ProV2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-48-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_16_05_ProV2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-48-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_16_05_ProV2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-48-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_16_05_ProV2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-48-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_16_05_ProV2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-48-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_16_05_ProV2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Spyderco-Zoomer-48-Edge-WIN_20230413_09_16_05_ProV2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>What is it like to use?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>An unexpected combination of supreme comfort and solidity seem to emanate from the Zoomer.

Initially the sheath has some grip on the knife but with more use this loosened and you end up relying on gravity alone to keeping the knife in the sheath.<br \/>\nI was not happy to rely on this at all times and wanted to carry the knife more securely.<br \/>\nFortunately the sheath has the front pouch with press-stud fastening. The simplest option would be to have a plain loop of paracord tied such that it went through the lanyard hole and was able to fit around the pouch flap holding the knife in the sheath when the pouch was closed. I found this solution made the loop of cord too long and the opening too large to be of use as a wrist strap.<br \/>\nInstead I decided to tie a lanyard that included a few snake knots and the larger diamond knot which could then be tucked inside the pouch and secured by closing the pouch flap. The tying and use of this knife retention idea is shown in the next gallery.<\/p>\n<p>Instructions for tying these knots are on the <a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/?page_id=9583\"
