Thread: Knife sharpening gear

You might consider getting a decent double sided diamond stone, dmt is a good brand, carbatec sell them, will set you back a couple of hundred for a good 8 inch one but it will never dish or crack, you don’t need water if you don’t want too, but can use it to wash stuff away and it will last forever, a medium/fine combo will set you up along with a simple strop made from a bit of leather glued to a bit of flat wood and you are set.

Mind you if you ever need an edge reset, or want to try something really sharp I charge a fiver for a small knife or seven fifty for a big one and can take it up to 60,000 grit.
