Thread: Getting The Knife Sharp

I enjoy the whole process. Quite relaxing standing at kitchen bench sharpening all the knives. We love cooking so have decent Japanese/European knives. Still only use the cheap works knives for hunting and butchery. Bugger the pocket knives for hunting, tried going light weight option over the roar, not a fan of breaking down animal with small knife, just didn’t feel right, way better with bigger blade IMO
Bought some decent quality Japanese whetstones.
Quick going over on the 1000, then quick polish on 3000 then onto homemade strop which is a leather welding gauntlet unstitched and staples onto a piece of matai floor board. Touch of autosol polish and the edge comes up like a mirror.
I use the strop for taking the burr off in between stones as well.
