pin Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 You ideally want to use a fine diamond steel to maintain an edge you have already created. If you are after razor sharp you want a barbers strop after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeboy Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 You ideally want to use a fine diamond steel to maintain an edge you have already created. If you are after razor sharp you want a barbers strop after that The barbers strop only works with soft steel in my experience. I use an ordinary kitchen steel and it works perfectly.

njc110381 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Try the fine steel, then strop after. It takes the last of the burrs off after the blade has been sharpened. You may not feel much of a change, but the edge will last longer if stropped. As with all knives, it's better to maintain an edge than to sharpen from scratch less often :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
